I think that this concern is legitimate, although I understand the motivation for the current approach. -------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Bill Nottingham <notting@xxxxxxxxxx> To: fedora-selinux-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: excessively verbose policy Date: Thu, 21 Feb 2008 18:23:21 -0500 I was writing policy today, and I couldn't help notice a lot of repetitiveness in our policy: libs_use_ld_so(...) libs_use_shared_libs(...) These are needed by, well, everything. Can't they be assumed-unless-denied? Similarly, 99% of confined apps need: miscfiles_read_localization() files_read_etc_files(.) pipes & stream sockets Is there a way to streamline policy so there is a lot less repetition?
