I would expect an "avc: denied" error. This feels like a traditional
Unix permissions issue but does not occur when SELinux is not enforcing
its policies.





There are a few things that SELinux will deny but not generate a log
message for.  is the big one.  That's bitten me in the past.

In your particular case, if pam_mount is being run before su transitions
to the sysadm_r role, then you'll probably get denials from user_r not
being authorized for the mount_t domain.

Solution:

role $1_r types mount_t;



Great! The pam_mount module is now working for me in enforcing mode. Once I go through and clean things up I'll share my work.

Why would SELinux not log some denials?


This is a bug in the kernel that has not been upstreamed yet. Hopefully it will fixed soon.
This type of think has burnt me several times also.
