The gdm selinux support was obsoleted by the gdm rewrite, so it isn't necessary to link it with libselinux anymore. It all gets handled by pam_selinux in /etc/pam.d/gdm. In Fedora, /etc/pam.d/gdm looks like this: #%PAM-1.0 auth [success=done ignore=ignore default=bad] pam_selinux_permit.so auth required pam_succeed_if.so user != root quiet auth required pam_env.so auth substack system-auth auth optional pam_gnome_keyring.so account required pam_nologin.so account include system-auth password include system-auth session required pam_selinux.so close session required pam_loginuid.so session optional pam_console.so session required pam_selinux.so open session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke session required pam_namespace.so session optional pam_gnome_keyring.so auto_start session include system-auth BTW, I would recommend testing the policy package provided by OpenSUSE to see if it works before trying upstream refpolicy. And report issues with their SELinux integration to their bugzilla, not to us. It won't get fixed if you just post it here. Are you following the guidance at: http://en.opensuse.org/SELinux You have to add an additional repository to pick up their policy and associated packages. The SELinux integration work seems to be getting tracked on this blog: http://thetoms-random-thoughts.blogspot.com/search/label/Security -- Stephen Smalley National Security Agency
