At the moment I'm trying to compile the shadow password programs from Julianne Frances Haugh (as used in Debian for /bin/login and friends) with SE support.

I've got login almost working (I think) but haven't tested it yet (anyone who's interested in seeing what I'm doing please contact me off the list - I'm not publishing untested patches).

I'm now thinking about what to do with su. Should su change the security of the tty with chsid() before spawning a new shell and then change it back afterwards as login does? Or is there some difference in the way that su and login work that requires some different code?
