Oh, I guess I misunderstood what you were saying. There is a mapping from file names to contexts that SELinux uses to initialize the system. Defining this mapping is part of writing a security policy for a program.

However Rich and elanthis seemed to want to do away with types entirely and have them somehow automagically created; that doesn't make sense.
