NAME

newrole − run a shell with a new role

SYNOPSIS

newrole [-r|--role] ROLE [-t|--type] TYPE [-l|--level] LEVEL [-- [ARGS]...]

DESCRIPTION

Run a new shell in a new context. The new context is derived from the old context in which newrole is originally executed. If the -r or --role option is specified, then the new context will have the role specified by ROLE. If the -t or --type option is specified, then the new context will have the type (domain) specified by TYPE. If a role is specified, but no type is specified, the default type is derived from the specified role. If the -l or --level option is specified, then the new context will have the sensitivity level specified by LEVEL. If LEVEL is a range, the new context will have the sensitivity level and clearance specified by that range.

Additional arguments ARGS may be provided after a -- option, in which case they are supplied to the new shell. In particular, an argument of -- -c will cause the next argument to be treated as a command by most command interpreters.

The new shell will be the shell specified in the user’s entry in the /etc/passwd file.

The -V or --version shows the current version of newrole

FILES

/etc/passwd - user account information
/etc/shadow - encrypted passwords and age information
