How does this bug differ from 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=116347

The errors didn't seem to come from the tty stuff. I'll need to get
the full list.

Comment 4 Tim Waugh 2004-03-03 17:36:53 UTC

Now that I've had a chance to look at this, I can't reproduce it. :-/

From a clean rawhide-20040303 install, logging in as root on VT1 and
running 'su -' works, saying:

==>
Your default context is root:sysadm_r:sysadm_t

Do you want to choose a different one? [n]

and 'exit' brings me back to the original shell.  Same in
gnome-terminal from a root login via gdm.

Policy changed quite a bit. Will reopen if it persists.
