Hi Dan,

We believe the security range should stay the same as calling process. This
is something we would like for su as well. If we could remove the
pam_selinux from su so that the selinux identity, role, type stay the same
across su. I think we discussed with Stephen awhile back in a meeting and
this change would go back to original selinux implementation of su/pam.
