+pam_selinux — PAM module to set the default security context
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+pam_selinux is a PAM module that sets up the default SELinux security context
+for the next executed process.
+
+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 execve(2) call, the
+file security context for the controlling terminal, and the security context
+used for creating a new kernel keyring.
+
+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.
+
+Adding pam_selinux into the PAM stack might disrupt behavior of other PAM
+modules which execute applications. To avoid that, pam_selinux.so open should
+be placed after such modules in the PAM stack, and pam_selinux.so close should
+be placed before them. When such a placement is not feasible, pam_selinux.so
+restore could be used to temporary restore original security contexts.
+
+OPTIONS
+
+open
+
+    Only execute the open_session part of the module.
+
+close
+
+    Only execute the close_session part of the module.
+
+restore
+
+    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.
+
+nottys
+
+    Do not setup security context of the controlling terminal.
+
+debug
+
+    Turn on debug messages via syslog(3).
+
+verbose
+
+    Attempt to inform the user when security context is set.
+
+select_context
+
+    Attempt to ask the user for a custom security context role. If MLS is on,
+    ask also for sensitivity level.
+
+env_params
+
+    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 SELINUX_ROLE_REQUESTED, SELINUX_LEVEL_REQUESTED,
+    and SELINUX_USE_CURRENT_RANGE. The first two variables are self describing
+    and the last one if set to 1 makes the PAM module behave as if the
+    use_current_range was specified on the command line of the module.
+
+use_current_range
+
+    Use the sensitivity level of the current process for the user context
+    instead of the default level. Also suppresses asking of the sensitivity
+    level from the user or obtaining it from PAM environment.
+
+EXAMPLES
+
+auth     required  pam_unix.so
+session  required  pam_permit.so
+session  optional  pam_selinux.so
