policycoreutils: genhomedircon: manual page improvements

Browse Source 
The following patch aims to improve the manual page (section 8) for the
"genhomedircon" script (policycoreutils).

- remove probably redundant GNU licence notice;
- try to further clarify the functionality made available by the
  "genhomedircon" script as well as all the configurable options that
  control its execution and affect its behavior;
- extend the references section (SEE ALSO).

.TH GENHOMEDIRCON "8" "May 2010" "Security Enhanced Linux" "SELinux"
.TH GENHOMEDIRCON "12" "Sep 2011" "Security Enhanced Linux" "SELinux"
.SH NAME
genhomedircon \- generate SELinux file context configuration entries for user home directories
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B genhomedircon
is a script that executes semodule to rebuild policy and create the
labels for HOMEDIRS based on home directories returned by the getpw calls.
is a script that executes
.B semodule
to rebuild the currently active SELinux policy (without reloading it) and to create the
labels for each user home directory based on directory paths returned by calls to getpwent().
This functionality is enabled via the usepasswd flag in /etc/selinux/semanage.conf.
The latter functionality depends on the "usepasswd" parameter being set to "true" (default)
in /etc/selinux/semanage.conf.
This script is usually executed by
.B semanage
although this default behavior can be optionally modified by setting to "true" the
"disable-genhomedircon" in /etc/selinux/semanage.conf.
