polydirThe absolute path name of the directory to polyinstantiate. The optional strings $USER and $HOME will be replaced by the user name and home directory respectively.
instance_prefixA string prefix used to build the pathname for the polyinstantiated directory. The optional strings $USER and $HOME will be replaced by the user name and home directory respectively.
method

This is used to determine the method of polyinstantiation with valid entries being:

-

user - Polyinstantiation is based on user name.

-

level - Polyinstantiation is based on the user name and MLS level.

-

context - Polyinstantiation is based on the user name and security context.

-

Note that level and context are only valid for SELinux enabled systems.

list_of_uids

A comma separated list of user names that will not have polyinstantiated directories. If blank, then all users are polyinstantiated. If the list is preceded with an '~' character, then only the users in the list will have polyinstantiated directories.

-

There are a number of optional flags available that are described in the namespace.conf(5) man page.
