Yes, if you want to have user roles and domains, you need strict policy.
targeted policy lacks the infrastructure for user roles and domains; it
only knows about daemons.

Ah, unfortunately RHEL4 didn't ship with a strict policy included.
You can take it up with your Red Hat support person, or grab the
selinux-policy-strict* packages from Fedora Core (in the latter case,
you will likely want to also upgrade your other SELinux-related
packages, e.g. libsepol, libsepol-devel, libselinux, libselinux-devel,
checkpolicy, policycoreutils, setools, setools-gui).

full_user_role() defines both a role and an initial domain for the role
using the same prefix, so you don't need to separately define the
domains here. Also, 'file_type' doesn't belong on domains. Domains are
for processes, file types are for files.

You would need allow rules as well for the latter domains; auditallow
just says "audit when allowed", so you need both an allow rule and an
auditallow rule in order to both allow the action and enable auditing of
it when allowed.

This is because targeted policy lacks the infrastructure for user
domains.

full_user_role(X) should define a X_r role as well as a X_t domain as
the initial domain for the role, and authorize the role for the domain.
So you don't need to separately define domains and authorize the role
for it. E.g. full_user_role(A) would create role A_r and type A_t, and
authorize role A_r for A_t.

It is a generic user identity used when the SELinux policy does not
define a separate user identity for the Linux username. This is useful
if you have a large number of users who do not need separation via
SELinux, e.g. so you can map all unprivileged users to user_u and not
need to maintain them in the policy individually.
