Replace "passwd" with whatever filename you want to fake inode for. Then run:
In the other terminal run:
Change the filename of the file that you are checking with "ls", if you changed the filename in the "fake_inode.d" script. This should produce:
Thank you. I changed the filename to "passwd2" because I wasn't sure what impact this would have on my /etc/passwd file.
Was I supposed to run fake_inode.d from within /etc? I created fake_inode.d and passwd2 inside /data, and ran the script from there. It has been saying this for a while:
Hi,
If inodes need to be 3-4 times greater than fd.file-max. Can you modify the current inode in the filesystem? Can you modify it on the fly? Or only in the creation of FS.
I'm using redhat ent 4.
Thank you for any comment you may add. (1 Reply)
At risk of twisting the rules to nearly the point of breaking (if you think this goes too far mods, I apologise and accept that this should be deleted), I'm hoping someone might be able to cast a little light on the following problem regarding hard links to files.

matchpathcon_filespec_add
matchpathcon_checkmatches(3) SELinux API documentation matchpathcon_checkmatches(3)NAME
matchpathcon_checkmatches, matchpathcon_filespec_add, matchpathcon_filespec_destroy, matchpathcon_filespec_eval - check and report whether
any specification index has no matches with any inode. Maintenance and statistics on inode associations.
SYNOPSIS
#include <selinux/selinux.h>
void matchpathcon_checkmatches(char *str);
int matchpathcon_filespec_add(ino_t ino, int specind, const char *file);
void matchpathcon_filespec_destroy(void);
void matchpathcon_filespec_eval(void);
DESCRIPTION
matchpathcon_checkmatches checks whether any specification has no matches and reports them. The str argument is used as a prefix for any
warning messages.
matchpathcon_filespec_add maintains an association between an inode ino and a specification index specind, and checks whether a conflicting
specification is already associated with the same inode (e.g. due to multiple hard links). If so, then it uses the latter of the two speci-
fications based on their order in the file context configuration. Returns the specification index used or -1 on error.
matchpathcon_filespec_destroy destroys any inode associations that have been added, e.g. to restart for a new filesystem.
matchpathcon_filespec_eval displays statistics on the hash table usage for the inode associations.
RETURN VALUE
Returns zero on success or -1 otherwise.
