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

       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
