seusers(5)						       SELinux configuration							seusers(5)

NAME
seusers - The SELinux GNU/Linux user to SELinux user mapping configuration file. DESCRIPTION
The seusers file contains a list GNU/Linux user to SELinux user mapping for use by SELinux-aware login applications such as PAM(8). selinux_usersconf_path(3) will return the active policy path to this file. The default SELinux users mapping file is located at: /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/seusers Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the selinux configuration file config (see selinux_config(5)). getseuserbyname(3) reads this file to map a GNU/Linux user or group to an SELinux user. FILE FORMAT
Each line of the seusers configuration file consists of the following: [%group_id]|[user_id]:seuser_id[:range] Where: group_id|user_id The GNU/Linux user id, or if preceded by the percentage (%) symbol, then a GNU/Linux group id. An optional entry set to __default__ can be provided as a fall back if required. seuser_id The SELinux user identity. range The optional level or range for an MLS/MCS policy. EXAMPLE
# ./seusers system_u:system_u:s0-s15:c0.c255 root:root:s0-s15:c0.c255 fred:user_u:s0 __default__:user_u:s0 %user_group:user_u:s0 SEE ALSO

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 SEE ALSO
