My error on can_network_tcp(). Should be 'can_network_tcp(ptal_t)'. I
agree with your comment on 'name_bind'.
I thought 'can_network_tcp()' was just a combination of the client and
server cases.
Regarding specific port. Yeah, you're correct. ptal-photod wants to
connect on 5703:
May 28 10:01:53 fedora kernel: audit(1117299713.078:31): avc: denied
{ name_bind } for pid=3576 comm="ptal-photod" src=5703
scontext=root:system_r:ptal_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:port_t
tclass=tcp_socket
Havent't done this before.
So I do this by adding something like the following to net_contexts?
ifdef(`cups.te', `portcon tcp 5703 system_u:object_r:ptal_port_t')
and add something like the following to types/network.te?
ifdef(`cups.te', `type ptal_port_t, port_type, reserved_port_type;')
and then change 'allow ptal_t port_t:tcp_socket name_bind' to?
allow ptal_t ptal_t:ptal_port_t name_bind;
Is that right? A better/simpler way to do this?
tom
Can ptal be a client? If not then you should call
can_network_server_tcp
If it can be a client, you need a name_connect allow rule.
