Comment 1 Zdenek Pytela 2022-10-17 15:12:12 UTC 
Adding a short note after the first team discussion:

There seems to be a conflict between
1. An unconfined service is not confined
2. The passwd command is always confined

It is questionable which rule should prevail.

I will update this bz as soon as some additional information is found.
