I'm having an issue with run_init.
each time I try to restart alsa-utils
I get this:

name@computer:~$ newrole -r sysadm_r -- -c /usr/sbin/run_init 
/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart
Password:
USAGE: run_init <script> <args ...>
  where: <script> is the name of the init script to run,
         <args ...> are the arguments to that script.
name@computer:~$

I've set /etc/pam.d/newrole_pam.conf
as su, but commented out:
 auth       sufficient pam_rootok.so
like what the doc said.

I've also set in the policy
DIRECT_INITRC = y
but still the same response.

any info would be appreciated.

regards;

Justin P. Mattock

I think I have something missing.
when adding " "
to the command:
newrole -r sysadm_r -- -c "/usr/sbin/run_init /etc/init.d/alsa-utils 
restart"
I get this:

name@computer:~$ newrole -r sysadm_r -- -c "/usr/sbin/run_init 
/etc/init.d/alsa-utils restart"
Password:
Authenticating name.
run_init: incorrect password for name
authentication failed.
name@computer:~$

I've done passwd as root and as normal user
to make sure, but still same message.

O.K. I was able to have run_init work
by changing  system-auth
to common-auth(can't seem to locate system-auth
package);
I think one of the main problems I have is
I don't know how to login as root.(with the newest refpolicy atleast)
how do I do that? or do I just need to have system-auth
in /etc/pam.d setup correctly to use run_init?
