Is this ready for lkml?
Why require CAP_AUDIT_CONTROL to read the loginuid? Programs like
newrole would like to have a more reliable user identity available than
the normal uid; we were having them extract the SELinux user identity
from the security context, but in Fedora, that is typically just user_u
due to the lack of integration of user management with policy.
