Hi All,
Problem:
Not able to login with root user. root user is not acceptable while booting in enforcing mode of targeted policy.
Observations:
with permissive mode, was able to login and captured below details. Using sysvinit as init manager.

As of now I am completely struck. Please help me to resolve this issue.
What modifications are needed to login as root under targeted policy and enforcing mode?
Thanks and Regards,
