Done.

Do you mean this line?

role iotop_roles types
iotop_t;

I thought it did, but I have removed the line and it worked with no
denial. I think the trap I fell into was that I tried the application in
permissive mode without a complete set of rules, then I received other
denials as a result, to which I added rules I didn't need.

I have setup my policy to match this, but I think I'll need to read the
differences in what those socket_perms options do before I understand it
completely. I'll use the reference you previously gave.

It needed urandom, which is added (And it doesn't generate a denial, so
I won't add it)

Attached again.
