Dan,
Clarifying my email / question further - The login is as an admin user,
and su / sudo is done to execute the applications as these users
mentioned below (nologin users). What action can I take to prevent the
warnings for multiple specifications?
Thanks,
Radha.

Dan,
I have created SeLinux users which can take on roles of system_r and
sysadm_r and tied them the Linux users created (though they are
nologin). This is needed so that these linux users can execute
applications in our product taking on system_r or sysadm_r roles.
Thanks,
Radha.
Right but how do they get logged on to the machine?

Then why are you assigning user context to the accounts.
genhomedircon must have a bug in that it is ignoring the shell if the
user has an assigned seusers label.
