SELinux on CentOS 6.3 - libsemanage.get_users: user xguest not in password file

Hello All,

OS = CentOS6.3 [virtual machine running on Ubuntu 12.04 LTS]

I am using a test virtual machine to learn the basics of SELinux. In my system, I have users bryan and joe, along with root.

I log in as root and execute

Code:

semanage login -a -s user_u bryan

The output is:
libsemanage.get_users: user xguest not in password file

When I run the semanage login -l command, I do see bryan with the proper SELinux label [user_u]

Should I ignore the output or is it pointing out some misconfiguration?

Thanks!
