Hopefully Venkat can talk to the iptables rule, policy statements, and racoon config. He has the best understanding of how this works with the secid patches. There really is no specific NetLabel config as the NetLabel config only specifies how to create the explicit packet label (CIPSO IPv4 option) using the socket's SID. NetLabel, like SECMARK, is just a packet labeling mechanism. I think the key thing to remember is that the only change brought about by the pseudo-code I posted earlier is that the secmark's MLS label would be adjusted to match the value of the NetLabel (CIPSO option) assuming it passes the avc flow_in checks. > Here's a sample scenario for the above (let me know if this is not how > you expect this to be used): > > Say that the SA is labeled "secret" and you have two FTP clients > connecting to a server via xinetd on this SA.

I believe Venkat can address this. -- paul moore linux security @ hp - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
