      pam_selinux is a PAM module that sets up the default SELinux security
      context for the next executed process.
    </p><p>
      When a new session is started, the open_session part of the module
      computes and sets up the execution security context used for the next
      <span class="citerefentry"><span class="refentrytitle">execve</span>(2)</span>
      call, the file security context for the controlling terminal, and
      the security context used for creating a new kernel keyring.
    </p><p>
      When the session is ended, the close_session part of the module restores
      old security contexts that were in effect before the change made
      by the open_session part of the module.
    </p><p>
      Adding pam_selinux into the PAM stack might disrupt behavior of other
      PAM modules which execute applications.  To avoid that,
      <span class="emphasis"><em>pam_selinux.so open</em></span> should be placed after such
      modules in the PAM stack, and <span class="emphasis"><em>pam_selinux.so close</em></span>
      should be placed before them.  When such a placement is not feasible,
      <span class="emphasis"><em>pam_selinux.so restore</em></span> could be used to temporary
      restore original security contexts.

            In open_session part of the module, temporarily restore the
            security contexts as they were before the previous call of
            the module.  Another call of this module without the restore
            option will set up the new security contexts again.

            Attempt to obtain a custom security context role from PAM environment.
            If MLS is on, obtain also sensitivity level.  This option and the
            select_context option are mutually exclusive.  The respective PAM
            environment variables are <span class="emphasis"><em>SELINUX_ROLE_REQUESTED</em></span>,

            are self describing and the last one if set to 1 makes the PAM module behave as

            instead of the default level. Also suppresses asking of the
