As a start I'm trying to create new role and new types, I want the new role to be accessed by unconfined_r, having problem since my last email: Compiling targeted new module /usr/bin/checkmodule: loading policy configuration from tmp/new.tmp new.te":6:ERROR 'unknown role unconfined_r' at token ';' on line 3189: allow unconfined_r new_r; role new_r types example_t; /usr/bin/checkmodule: error(s) encountered while parsing configuration make: *** [tmp/new.mod] Error 1 the file used: new.te policy_module(new, 0.0.1) role new_r; type example_t; role new_r types example_t; allow unconfined_r new_r; (both allow or role causing the same problem). > Subject: Re: su or sudo from unconfined user to confined user > From: sds@tycho.nsa.gov > To: domg472@gmail.com > CC: mrowais@hotmail.com; fedora-selinux-list@redhat.com > Date: Tue, 23 Jun 2009 12:20:38 -0400 > > On Tue, 2009-06-23 at 17:17 +0200, Dominick Grift wrote: > > It is possible i think yes. > > I could be wrong, but I think the original poster wanted a way he could > switch to another user's security context in its entirety using su or > sudo.
