First What OS? Version?

system_u is  not supposed to be a login user, you are supposed to use 
something like staff_u or user_u, guest_u, xguest_u or unconfined_u.


sysadm_u is not necessarily more or less powerfull then the other user 
types.  I don't like to talk about greater or less privs when using 
SELinux because the reality is the domains are just different.  In some 
circumstances it might be able to do more and other less.  For example, 
I can setup the login programs to be not allowed to login as sysadm_u.
