Guido Trentalancia 876f5faede policycoreutils: genhomedircon: manual page improvements
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 "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
.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().
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.
