"NAME"
service_seusers - The SELinux GNU/Linux user and service to SELinux user mapping configuration files
.
"DESCRIPTION"
These are optional files that allow services to define an SELinux user when authenticating via SELinux-aware login applications such as
PAM "(8). " There is one file for each GNU/Linux user name that will be required to run a service with a specific SELinux user name.
The path for each configuration file is formed by the path returned by
selinux_policy_root "(3) with " /logins/username appended (where username is a file representing the GNU/Linux user name). The default services directory is located at:
/etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/logins
Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the selinux configuration file config (see selinux_config(5)).
getseuser "(3) reads this file to map services to an SELinux user. " .
"FILE FORMAT"
Each line within the username file is formatted as follows with each component separated by a colon:
service : seuser [:range]
Where:
service
The service name used by the application.
seuser
The SELinux user name.
range
The range for MCS/MLS policies.
.
"EXAMPLES"

# ./logins/root
