How do I remove "Your default context is root:system_r:unconfined_t." when I Telnet?


Hello Friends,

When I telnet to the server, after giving the password I receive the following message:

Your default context is root:system_r:unconfined_t.

Do you want to choose a different one? [n]

How can I disable this message?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks.

Saabir.

You could edit: /etc/pam.d/su
find the line: session required /lib/security/$ISA/pam_selinux.so open multiple
and remove the word multiple from the end.

Better still, instead of telnet you could use ssh which is more secure.

Hi,

Thanks for the solution.

Apart from /etc/pam.d/su there is another file /etc/pam.d/remote where in we have to remove the word "multiple" from the following line:

session required pam_selinux.so multiple open

So, After we remove we do not get this message.

I got this from the redhat documentation.

Thanks for your co-operation and efforts.

Saabir.
