If you can contribute towards fixing the problems in early login, that might help. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=151952 > upon during the > > review process. > I know this, because I am working on getting it working too (adding > selinux support). Lets get it working reasonably well and include it in extras-devel as a package that users can provide feedback easily.
