If you are not using PAM it didn't compile so I just moved 
#define CONTEXT_FILE .....
out of the ifdef PAM block. in run_init.c  FYI.

Also newrole.c line 412 almost certanly has an error

I changed
if ( !authenticate_via_shadow_passwd(d p_passwd_line) ) {
to
if ( !authenticate_via_shadow_passwd(p_passwd_line) ) {

Also, I have integrated this with a Slackware 8.0 filewall
that is re-exporting nfs filesystems to samba for windows clients.
It is also running dhcp. I have created iptables, dhcpd, and samba
domains. I also had to change a huge amount of file_contexts. It is
working fine as a production server. I am very pleased with selinux.
