If I create a new filesystem/directory off of / and I set the Linux permissions to 770 I expect the group to be able to read and write files in that directory. SELinux was preventing me from doing this until I changed the SELinux type on that directory to public_content_rw_t. If this is just a directory in which users in that group will share files is this an acceptable SELinux type or should I be using another one? Writing a custom policy seems like overkill for these purposes.

Thanks

It will depend on what you plan to do in that directory. But in most cases, yes public_content_rw_t is fine. – MIfe Nov 6 '11 at 22:51
