Research direction

Start by locating the socket-unit show or status output and the code that determines the SELinux context from the service's ExecStart path. Done means the socket unit exposes the path used for context determination, making failed socket startup easier to troubleshoot.

Description

pid1 RFE 🎁 selinux

Currently, systemd starts a socket using the sexlinux context of the corresponding service's ExecStart path. This behavior is opaque to an administrator who is troubleshooting a failed socket unit startup. We should consider displaying the path used for context determination in the show or status output of the socket unit.
