selinux module

This fix requires oddjob (from upstream) to be installed as an selinux module.
It also requires /sbin/mkhomedir_helper to be oddjob_mkhomedir_exec_t.

we could also don't audit this log if we want, but since it should only occur during the first login, might be alright to keep around.

Comment 1 Sven Vermeulen (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-12-28 19:44:16 UTC
Action plan:
- Have ssh.te updated to call the oddjob stuff optionally (and send upstream)
- Mark the helper application (/sbin/mkhomedir_helper) correctly (and send upstream)
- Create a sec-policy/selinux-oddjob package (pending)
- Have sys-libs/pam pull this package as dependency

Will be part of rev 10.
