I am not storing my username/password in standard /etc/passwd but in different files/DB.. so i have personalized getpwnam by editing /etc/nsswitch.conf

thats works fine.

when you define users in a policy .. it calls python getpwnam and adds user to selinux user db. So I guess even that is fine.

now .. the question is when login sets selinux context for a user which system call it makes to get user identification and which system call it uses to set the context.

If sshd is not relying on pam_selinux than .. is all this hard-coded in sshd ???

Please clarify it.
