Dan, No, we have not set up /etc/selinux/strict/contexts/users/specialuser_u (we are using strict policy). But, it should fall back to the /etc/selinux/strict/contexts/default_contexts then. Would that not work? The defaults_contexts looks like this system_r:sulogin_t:s0 sysadm_r:sysadm_t:s0 system_r:local_login_t:s0 staff_r:staff_t:s0 user_r:user_t:s0 sysadm_r:sysadm_t:s0 system_r:remote_login_t:s0 user_r:user_t:s0 staff_r:staff_t:s0 system_r:sshd_t:s0 user_r:user_t:s0 staff_r:staff_t:s0 sysadm_r:sysadm_t:s0 system_r:crond_t:s0 user_r:user_crond_t:s0 staff_r:staff_crond_t:s0 sysadm_r:sysadm_crond_t:s0 system_r:system_crond_t:s0 mailman_r:user_crond_t:s0 system_r:xdm_t:s0 staff_r:staff_t:s0 user_r:user_t:s0 sysadm_r:sysadm_t:s0 staff_r:staff_su_t:s0 staff_r:staff_t:s0 user_r:user_t:s0 sysadm_r:sysadm_t:s0 sysadm_r:sysadm_su_t:s0 staff_r:staff_t:s0 user_r:user_t:s0 sysadm_r:sysadm_t:s0 user_r:user_su_t:s0 staff_r:staff_t:s0 user_r:user_t:s0 sysadm_r:sysadm_t:s0 sysadm_r:sysadm_sudo_t:s0 sysadm_r:sysadm_t:s0 staff_r:staff_sudo_t:s0 sysadm_r:sysadm_t:s0 staff_r:staff_t:s0 user_r:user_sudo_t:s0 sysadm_r:sysadm_t:s0 user_r:user_t:s0 Thanks, Radha. -----Original Message----- From: Daniel J Walsh [mailto:dwalsh@xxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, October 18, 2012 10:43 AM To: Radha Venkatesh (radvenka) Cc: selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: pam_selinux(sshd:session): Error!
