Can someone clarify how networking rules are supposed to work.

1) There is poor documentation on all network macros - they all
take 2 or 3 arguments, and only one is documented.

2) There is optional socket type and port type. Looking at policy,
those don't seem to be used very often. Is that a bad thing?

3) Then there's name_connect and name_bind.
Why are those not incorporated in any network macros,
but at the same time you have the ability to specify a port type
in base_can_network.

Basically I've been writing:

can_network_client(domain)
allow domain specific_port:tcp_socket/udp_socket name_connect;

can_network_server(domain)
allow domain specific_port:tcp_socket/udp_socket name_bind;

Now this seems wrong - what's are the proper rules?
It seems to me that name_bind and name_connect should be integrated
w/ network_macros, and I should specify a port/socket_type on network
macros that I invoke.

....
Then there wouldn't be need for special purpose name_connect macros
like can_resolve, can_ldap...

define(`can_ldap',`
ifdef(`slapd.te',`
can_network_client_tcp($1, `ldap_port_t')
allow $1 ldap_port_t:tcp_socket name_connect;
')
')

Why does slapd.te have to be present to name_connect to a ldap port?
This seems wrong... I need to connect to ldap from evolution.
The ldap port is not defined in slapd.te.

+allow ptal_t port_t:tcp_socket name_bind;
This lets it bind to any port... why not a specific one?

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?

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.
