7.22. chkconfig

Bug Fix

BZ#965103

Previously, when the chkconfig utility modified a file in the /etc/xinetd.d/ directory, it set the file permissions to "644" and the SELinux context to "root:object_r:etc_t". Such permissions, however, do not adhere to the Defense Information Systems Agency's (DISA) Security Technical Implementation Guide (STIG), which requires files in /etc/xinetd.d/ to be unreadable by other users. With this update, chkconfig ensures that the xinetd files it modifies have the "600" permissions and the correct SELinux context is preserved.
