If you have system accounts with homedirs and real shells, you can
confuse SELinux. Any system account should have a UID < 500 or a shell
of /bin/false or /sbin/nologin.
I fixed all accounts to meet these expectations.
There were these which I changed to use shells of /sbin/nologin:
oracle:x:1003:1003:Oracle User:/opt/oracle:/bin/sh
netsaint:x:1005:1005:netsaint:/usr/libexec/netsaint:/bin/sh
autores:x:2000:2000:Autores:/opt/autores:
dhcpd:x:2001:2001:DHCP Daemon:/etc/dhcpd:/bin/bash
autostat:x:2003:2003:Autostatus:/etc/autostatus:/bin/false
nagios:x:2004:2004:nagios:/var/log/nagios:/bin/sh
You also look like you have root account setup to login as system_u.
You probably want to execute
semanage login -m -s unconfined_u root
Done.
Thanks for all the help. It sounds like I should go through all my
systems to be sure they meet current SELinux standards.
