Yes, you are taking the right approach. A few suggestions:

Do enough testing with fake accounts to verify correct operation.
At each step of testing, think of ways to make the script malfunction.
Or find a team member who likes to do testing, likes finding glitches.

Make something simple work first. Then add more capabilities.
Use previous logic from script on Solaris, if the code is available.

Every time the script adds a new account, have it display the results,
such as doing a diff between an old and new password file, or showing
a listing of any new files and directories. That's a kind of sanity check.

Spend time upfront picking and sharpening your tools. Use standard
tools you have on the system to add and delete the various account
types. Use any available standard log files for the processes, to help
verify the computer is doing what you want it to.

fixfiles

fixfiles(8)															       fixfiles(8)

NAME

       fixfiles - fix file SELinux security contexts.

SYNOPSIS

       fixfiles [-v] [-F] [-B] [ -N time ] [-l logfile ] { check | restore|[-f] relabel | verify } [[dir/file] ... ]

       fixfiles [-v] [-F] [ -R rpmpackagename[,rpmpackagename...] ] [-l logfile ] { check | restore | verify }

       fixfiles [-v] [-F] -C PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT [-l logfile ] { check | restore | verify }

       fixfiles [-F] [-B] onboot

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page describes the fixfiles script.

       This script is primarily used to correct the security context database (extended attributes) on filesystems.

       It  can	also  be  run  at  any time to relabel when adding support for new policy, or  just check whether the file contexts are all as you
       expect.	By default it will relabel all mounted ext2, ext3, xfs and jfs file systems as long as they do not have a security  context  mount
       option.	 You  can use the -R flag to use rpmpackages as an alternative.  The file /etc/selinux/fixfiles_exclude_dirs can contain a list of
       directories excluded from relabeling.

       fixfiles onboot will setup the machine to relabel on the next reboot.

OPTIONS

       -B     If specified with onboot, this fixfiles will record the current date in the /.autorelabel file, so that it  can  be  used  later	to
	      speed up labeling. If used with restore, the restore will only affect files that were modified today.

       -l logfile
	      Save the output to the specified logfile

       -F     Force reset of context to match file_context for customizable files

       -f     Clear /tmp directory with out prompt for removal.

       -R rpmpackagename[,rpmpackagename...]
	      Use  the	rpm database to discover all files within the specified packages and restore the file contexts.  (-a will get all files in
	      the RPM database).

       -C PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT
	      Run a diff on  the PREVIOUS_FILECONTEXT file to the currently installed one, and restore the context of all affected files.

       -N time
	      Only act on files created after the specified date.  Date must be specified in "YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM" format.  Date field will be passed
	      to find --newermt command.

       -v     Modify verbosity from progress to verbose. (Run restorecon with -v instead of -p)

ARGUMENTS

       One of:

       check  print any incorrect file context labels, showing old and new context, but do not change them.

       restore
	      change any incorrect file context labels.

       relabel
	      Prompt  for  removal  of contents of /tmp directory and then change any incorrect file context labels to match the install file_con-
	      texts file.

       verify List out files with incorrect file context labels, but do not change them.

       [[dir/file] ... ]
	      List of files or directories trees that you wish to check file context on.
