login default ... changed?
Now things related to selinux, policy, etc. have been changing so radidly that
my memory may be incorrect.
IIRC, it used to be that if I logged in from gdm as a sysadm_r user (staff_r
and sysadm_r) as defined in users, I would be logged in with sysadm_r. This
appears to have changed (or my memory is faulty). The default for a sysadm_r
user is to get staff_r and must use newrole -r sysadm_r to get that. Good!
That is the way I think it should work.
The same is true for root. As far as selinux is concerned, root is just
another sysadm_r user and the default role logging in from gdm is staff_r.
Is this what should be done. This will certainly be a change for most users.
When I login as root from gdm, I do not expect that I will be prompted for
root's password when I invoke system-config-users from the menu.
I also notice that doing an "su -" to root or another sysadm_r user will
default to sysadm_r role for that user. if it is from another sysadm_r user,
then I get a choice of sysadm_r (default) or staff_r. If it is from a user_r
user, then no choice, I just get sysadm_r.
Comments?? Is this how things should work??
This is not criticism, just wondering.
