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.

What's the difference between httpd_can_network_relay and httpd_can_network_connect?

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.

I'd like to completely agree with Joe. I'm beginning to have quite a lot invested in httpd, PHP and related database code and I don't want SELinux breaking what is there without a lot of warning. For new installs of FC4, I've been forced to turn off SELinux support for these applications. They simply don't work otherwise.
