Guido Trentalancia 3ed7221bf7 policycoreutils: run_init: clarification of the usage in the manual page
It's a very minor thing really, but I believe (on the basis of an
off-list question) that the manual page for policycoreutils/run_init can
be improved by the following short patch which aims to further clarify
the intended usage of such tool and mention that it caters for one
(somewhat hidden) compile-time option.

.SH NAME
run_init \- run an init script in the proper SELinux context

.SH DESCRIPTION
.PP
Run a init script under the proper context, which is specified in
/etc/selinux/POLICYTYPE/contexts/initrc_context.
It is generally used interactively as it requires either shadow or
PAM user authentication (depending on compile-time options). It
should be possible to configure PAM such that interactive input is
not required. Check your PAM documentation.
.SH FILES
/etc/passwd - user account information
.br
/etc/shadow - encrypted passwords and age information
