1900668638 trunk: Unified labeled networking policy from Paul Moore. 
The latest revision of the labeled policy patches which enable both labeled 
and unlabeled policy support for NetLabel.  This revision takes into account
Chris' feedback from the first version and reduces the number of interface
calls in each domain down to two at present: one for unlabeled access, one for
NetLabel access.  The older, transport layer specific interfaces, are still  
present for use by third-party modules but are not used in the default policy
modules.

trunk: Use netmsg initial SID for MLS-only Netlabel packets, from Paul Moore.

This patch changes the policy to use the netmsg initial SID as the "base"
SID/context for NetLabel packets which only have MLS security attributes.
Currently we use the unlabeled initial SID which makes it very difficult to
distinquish between actual unlabeled packets and those packets which have MLS
security attributes.

ff943a1b9b Clean up file context regexes in apache and java, from Eamon Walsh: 
Some file_contexts regular expressions in refpolicy-strict are causing 
genhomedircon to die; refpolicy is failing to build for me entirely.

The regular expressions seem redundant to me, perhaps I am missing 
something, but the following patch fixes the problems for me.  Please 
review and apply

d31d3c159e This modifies the mls constraint for polmatch in the association class. 
Specifically:

- polmatch need no longer make an exception for unlabeled_t
  since a flow will now always match SPD rules with no contexts (per
  the IPSec leak fix patch upstreamed a few weeks back), as
  opposed to needing polmatch access to unlabeled_t.

Attached is a patch which I've tested against selinux-policy-2.4.2-1
that implements this additional constraint.  The name is still a bit
forced, but it works.

Allow unconfined processes to see unlabeled processes in ps.

Removed a redundant rule in samba.te

Removed support for the pre-Fedora Red Hat code to create sym-links in /boot.

Removed support for devpts_t files in /tmp (there is no way that would ever 
work).

Allowed postgrey to create socket files.

Made the specs for the /lib and /lib64 directories better support stem 
compression.

00219064d7 This patch adds a GConf policy to refpolicy. 
This policy is much tighter than the GConf policy from the old example
policy.  It only allows gconfd to access configuration data stored by
GConf.  Users can modify configuration data using gconftool-2 or
gconf-editor, both of which use gconfd.  GConf manages multiple
configuration sources, so gconfd should be used to make any changes
anyway.  Normal users who aren't trying to directly edit the
configuration data of GConf won't notice anything different.

There is also a difference between this policy and the old example
policy in handling directories in /tmp.  The old example policy
labeled /tmp/gconfd-USER with ROLE_gconfd_tmp_t, but, since there was no
use of the file_type_auto_trans macro, if that directory was deleted
gconfd would create one labeled as tmp_t.  This policy uses the
files_tmp-filetrans macro to cause a directory in /tmp created by gconfd
to be labeled as $1_tmp_t.  It is not labeled with $1_gconf_tmp_t,
because if /tmp/orbit-USER is deleted, gconfd will create it (through
use of ORBit) and it would get the $1_gconf_tmp_t label.  By having
gconfd create $1_tmp_t directories in /tmp and $1_gconf_tmp_t files and
directories in directories labeled with $1_tmp_t, it can control its
data without requiring any future bonobo or Gnome policies to have
access to $1_gconf_tmp_t.

This patch is related to work that I am doing in making gconfd an
userspace object manager.  If any user program can modify the
configuration data that GConf stores, than making gconfd an userspace
object manager would be useless.
