NAME
default_type - The SELinux default type configuration file
DESCRIPTION
The default_type file contains entries that allow SELinux-aware applications such as newrole(1) to select a default type for a role if one is not supplied.
selinux_default_type_path(3) will return the active policy path to this file. The default, default type file is:
-
/etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/contexts/default_type
Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the selinux configuration file config (see selinux_config(5)).
get_default_type(3) reads this file to determine a type for the active policy.
FILE FORMAT
Each line within the default_type file is formatted with role:type entries where:
-
role
-
The SELinux role.
type
-
The domain type that is returned for this role.

# ./contexts/default_type
