su to user

OK, how is this suppose to work or is there a bug here ...

I am logged in as an admin user but  have a couple of regular (non priv) users 
defined to the system.  From the admin user I do "su - genec" and enter 
genec's password.  I then get a prompt to see if I want to change the 
security context (default=y) and I try role:user_r and type:user_t ... nope, 
will not accept those (what should I be specifying?).

Try again but respond "n" to the prompt ... I get in but there is an error 
message that su cannot change the directory.  Once in I can change the 
directory.  How should this be working.

Note:  if I ssh into the box I can "su - xx" with no prompts for context 
changes.
