+pam_selinux — PAM module to set the default security context
+
+━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
+
+DESCRIPTION
+
+In a nutshell, pam_selinux sets up the default security context for the next
+execed shell.
+
+When an application opens a session using pam_selinux, the shell that gets
+executed will be run in the default security context, or if the user chooses
+and the pam file allows the selected security context. Also the controlling tty
+will have it's security context modified to match the users.
+
+Adding pam_selinux into a pam file could cause other pam modules to change
+their behavior if the exec another application. The close and open option help
+mitigate this problem. close option will only cause the close portion of the
+pam_selinux to execute, and open will only cause the open portion to run. You
+can add pam_selinux to the config file twice. Add the pam_selinux close as the
+executes the open pass through the modules, pam_selinux open_session will
+happen last. When PAM executes the close pass through the modules pam_selinux
+close_session will happen first.
+
+OPTIONS
+
+close
+
+ Only execute the close_session portion of the module.

+ will login with, if the user has more than one role.
+
