Just a quick procedural comment, in the future you should include patches in 
the body of the email; people will likely ignore your submission otherwise.

There are several audit experts which should review this code but two things 
jumped out at me when glancing at your patch:

 1. SELinux SIDs should not be recorded
 2. From a SELinux/security point of view ttys are considered objects
    and their labels/contexts should be recorded with "obj=" not "subj="
