- <title>DESCRIPTION</title>
- <para>
- In a nutshell, pam_selinux sets up the default security context for the
- next execed shell.
- </para>
- <para>
- When an application opens a session using pam_selinux, the shell that
- gets executed will be run in the default security context, or if the
- user chooses and the pam file allows the selected security context.
- Also the controlling tty will have it's security context modified to
- match the users.
- </para>
- <para>
- Adding pam_selinux into a pam file could cause other pam modules to
- change their behavior if the exec another application. The close and
- open option help mitigate this problem. close option will only cause
- the close portion of the pam_selinux to execute, and open will only
- cause the open portion to run. You can add pam_selinux to the config
- file twice. Add the pam_selinux close as the executes the open pass
- through the modules, pam_selinux open_session will happen last.
- When PAM executes the close pass through the modules pam_selinux
- close_session will happen first.
