Steven, Here's the output of semanage user -l SELinux User SELinux Roles appuser_u appuser_r confinedapp_u user_r, system_r root staff_r, sysadm_r, system_r, unconfined_r staff_u staff_r, sysadm_r, system_r, unconfined_r sysadm_u sysadm_r system_u system_r unconfined_r user_u user_r I read on a SELinux-related blog that unconfined_r should be mapped to staff_u when removing the unconfined domain, so I didn't remove unconfined _r for all of the SELinux users. Should I remove unconfined_r for staff_u? Here is the output of semanage login -l Login Name SELinux User __default__ staff_u appuser appuser_u root staff_u system_u system_u Thanks for a response.

If it is running in sshd_t, that suggests a bug in your policy that prevented sshd from transitioning into a user domain. When you removed the unconfined domain and user, did you also update your semanage login and semanage user mappings so that no user is still being mapped to unconfined_u / unconfined_r?
