Hi Casey,
the last weeks I tried to come up with some way to circumvent my
problems by aimlessly poking around in the code. Did not work though.
Not yet at least. :)
Maybe it makes more sense for me to wait until you have a solution.
My whole project is stalled right now because of this and I'm not sure
what next.
Do you plan to change something there soon? If so I would stop wasting
my time with hopeless attempts.
My problem is at the moment that I don't really know what to do. If you
can give some aim I would be glad if I could do something.
Thanks

But Internet is untrusted and needs to work too. At least in the most
real world scenarios. :)
Yes. I'm pretty close to convinced that it needs to be included as
part of the single-label host solution. Not that it can possibly be
excused in any real secure environment mind you.
If i set /smack/nltype to 'unlabled' i don't even get SYN packets
out. (operation not permitted)
That's probably a bug, but I think the "fix" is to disable the
ability to
set the nltype to anything other than CIPSO at least for the time being.
Well, there is a case statement in smack_lsm.c that checks for the
nltype (smack_net_nltype) and omits net labeling if cipso is not set.
This seems to be a very sensible thing to do. I strongly advice for a
way to omit netlabel based access control.
Yes, I hear you.
