Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Permissions for new users: msg#00072

Subject: Permissions for new users
Hi. I'm wondering about the permissions new users get
when they are created. Before SELinux I had to add users
to 'wheel' to enable them to su to root.

I did an adduser and it seems to be unrestricted:

[testse@lankhmar ~]$ id -Z
user_u:system_r:unconfined_t

and the user is able to su to root. Is this normal?
How would I keep the user from being able to su?

I added:
   user testse roles { user_r };

to /etc/selinux/targeted/src/policy/users
and did: make load

This didn't seem to make any difference.

This is on FC3 (2.6.10-1.760_FC3)
selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.75

[root@lankhmar ~]# sestatus
SELinux status:         enabled
SELinuxfs mount:        /selinux
Current mode:           enforcing
Mode from config file:  enforcing
Policy version:         18
Policy from config file:targeted

I'm not sure if this is clear, or enough information.
I tried searching the archives but didn't find anything.
[I may be searching incorrectly].

Thanks,
Richard.
