Package: selinux-policy-default
Version: 2:2.20110726-12
Severity: important

Hi,

I followed all these steps: https://wiki.debian.org/SELinux/Setup
But GDM3 doesn't automatically start anymore after the `selinux-activate`, labeling and reboot. I've checked the PAM modules:
gdm3-autologin:session
gdm3:session
gdm-welcome:session
login:session
sshd:session

This has been added automatically to those pam modules: session required pam_selinux.so multiple

Which should be enough. But still GDM3 doesn't start by itself, running `service gdm3 restart` does bring up the manager. But since I'm running in permissive with PAM configured it should work right? What could be the problem? Am I missing something or is GDM3/default-policy to blame?

Thanks
