On an SELinux system, file_t should never be created, they are only created on a disabled SELinux system. I guess you could try to use chcon -t file_t on a file, but I believe the kernel will block that. Or you could attempt to delete the SELinux label, but that might also be denied. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk8LTkcACgkQrlYvE4MpobOQKwCfVN6EhzsP2a7Wi+ZwA/PgQpTC L8QAoN+w+lkuYqMY1T78e08ZmTkG3aa3 =xUSZ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
