Do you mean FC2 test3? I think that the system defaults (/etc/security/default_contexts) are set to prefer staff_r or user_r over sysadm_r, and the root-specific defaults (/root/.default_contexts) are set to prefer sysadm_r for console logins, but not for xdm logins or ssh logins. Naturally, you can customize that if you want to do so, but the ability to login directly via xdm or ssh to sysadm_r is a tunable (enabled by default in the Fedora policy, disabled in ours), so note that people running with a tighter policy will still fall back to staff_r as the default. -- Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil> National Security Agency -- This message was distributed to subscribers of the selinux mailing list.
