.SH "NAME"
service_seusers \- The SELinux GNU/Linux user and service to SELinux user mapping configuration files
.
.SH "DESCRIPTION"
These are optional files that allow services to define an SELinux user when authenticating via SELinux-aware login applications such as
.BR PAM "(8). "
.sp
There is one file for each GNU/Linux user name that will be required to run a service with a specific SELinux user name.
.sp
The path for each configuration file is formed by the path returned by
.BR selinux_policy_root "(3) with  "
.IR /logins/username
appended (where \fIusername\fR is a file representing the GNU/Linux user name). The default services directory is located at:
.RS
.I /etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/logins
.RE
.sp
Where \fI{SELINUXTYPE}\fR is the entry from the selinux configuration file \fIconfig\fR (see \fBselinux_config\fR(5)).
.sp
.BR getseuser "(3) reads this file to map services to an SELinux user. "
.
.SH "FILE FORMAT"
Each line within the \fIusername\fR file is formatted as follows with each component separated by a colon:
.RS
.IB service : seuser \fR[\fB:\fIrange\fR]
