Currently policy allows httpd to connect to relay ports and to mysql/postgres ports.

Adding these booleans
   * httpd_can_network_relay
   * httpd_can_network_connect_db

And turning this feature off by default. This is going into tonights reference policy and into FC4 test release.

Do you mean FC4 or FC5? This should not go in an FC4 update off-by-default since it will break working setups. Make it on-by-default if you want to ship this to FC4 users and off-by-default with a big release note for FC5.
Ok plan is to add this to FC4 With relay and database network connect turned on by default.
What's the difference between httpd_can_network_relay and httpd_can_network_connect?
They are just more specific. They allow specific connections to relay ports (http, ftp, gopher etc) and database ports (mysql and postgres).
Do we still have the problem that httpd cannot reap idle children properly when the latter is set? That really really does need to work by default.

Do you have a bugzilla for this?
