Hi All, I am using redhat operating system with kernel version 2.6.18-194.el5PAE. I am learning SElinux and there is a called "newrole" which will be used to grant a new SElinux role to a user. General syntax of this command is like "newrole -r <role_name>. For some reason, I cannot find the command newrole in the OS, I have searched whole OS but couldnt find it. It would be great if someone would help me in this regard.

You're either missing part of your SELinux installation (the policycoreutils-newrole package comes to mind), or something else simple (wrong path, not being root, etc) is going on.
You should be easily able to install this from the RHEL online repositories. Have you run a search for that package? And have you contacted RHEL support, since you're paying for it with your RHEL subscription, right?
