policy_module(pureftpd, 1.0) is preferred syntax going forward.

If you use policy_module() macro, you'll get the kernel class and
permission requires as part of it, so you won't need to explicitly
specify them each time.

Does it truly need write access? The library always tries to open rw
first, then falls back to read-only if it cannot open rw, so even just
reading utmp will show up in avc messages as a rw attempt. Try just
allowing read, and dontaudit'ing the write permission.

Macros aka interfaces are preferred, as they preserve
modularity/encapsulation and thus make your module more portable to
other base policies. There are plans to introduce interfaces as direct
constructs in the policy language and module format such that these
interfaces can be expanded at link-time rather than module build time,
which will further improve the portability of your module.

I don't think you want to put it in /usr/share/selinux/targeted (as that
could conflict in the future with the policy package), but I would
suggest putting it under /usr/share/selinux/<packagename> or similar to
keep all policy modules under that selinux tree, unless that also
presents some kind of conflict problem?
