After various attempts, I succeeded in modifying the SuSE 7.2 login program distributed in the shadow.spm. But then I returned to the util-linux-2.10 source distributed with SELinux to see how the sources differed.

The result was that I couldn't find a significant difference between the two, and, encouraged by this, I built and installed the util-linux-2.10 login. It worked without a hitch! That leaves me feeling a bit dumb, but ...well, I know my way around the login source now - always look on the bright side of life :-)

I still can't get the util-linux-2.11 login to work properly, though, but I think I'll start concentrating on sorting out my file_contexts and finding out why the sshd doesn't start up properly (it reports "line 41: Bad configuration option: HostbasedAuthentication" and then terminates).

Thanks for your help
James Bishop
