This is the expected behavior for all services... |

and this is a broken behavior. Service start/stop requires a SELinux |
| 12 |
identity change to system_u, so the init scripts run in the right |
| 13 |
context. Since SELinux identities are not supposed to change, it is a |
| 14 |
privileged operation, and thats why the user is authenticated. You can |
| 15 |
adjust the run_init pam settings to change the authentication behavior, |
| 16 |
to make wheel group or root sufficient for example, but its not |
| 17 |
suggested for production systems. |
