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  user-
       name 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

       Example 1 - for the 'root' user:
	      # ./logins/root
	      ipa:user_u:s0
	      this_service:unconfined_u:s0

       Example 2 - for GNU/Linux user 'rch':
	      # ./logins/rch
	      ipa:unconfined_u:s0
	      that_service:unconfined_u:s0
