      In a nutshell, pam_selinux sets up the default security context for the
      next execed shell.
    </p><p>
      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.
    </p><p>
      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.
