This is a new policy for the User Switching capability coming in gnome.
consolekit is a daemon that communicates with xdm_t and hal through dbus to change the
ownership/access on certain devices when the login session changes from one user to another
sudo should be able to getattr on all executables not just
bin_t/sbin_t. Confined executeables run from sudo need this.
sudo_exec_t needs to be marked as exec_type so prelink will work correctly.
sudo semanage should work

following files need to be labeled correctly:
/var/run/samba/gencache.tdb
/var/run/samba/share_info.tdb
Should also concern other distributions than Debian.

Some file_contexts regular expressions in refpolicy-strict are causing
genhomedircon to die; refpolicy is failing to build for me entirely.
The regular expressions seem redundant to me, perhaps I am missing
something, but the following patch fixes the problems for me. Please
review and apply
Specifically:
- polmatch need no longer make an exception for unlabeled_t
since a flow will now always match SPD rules with no contexts (per
the IPSec leak fix patch upstreamed a few weeks back), as
opposed to needing polmatch access to unlabeled_t.

- Allow semanage to read from /root on strict non-MLS for
local policy modules.
- Gentoo init script fixes for udev.
- Allow udev to read kernel modules.inputmap.
- Dnsmasq fixes from testing.
- Allow kernel NFS server to getattr filesystems so df can work
on clients.

Attached is a patch which I've tested against selinux-policy-2.4.2-1
that implements this additional constraint. The name is still a bit
forced, but it works.
