Hi List, I had a small conversation with Stephen Smalley on the fedora-selinux-list about an easy way to add (local) nodecon's on a SELinux enabled system. As this is not implemented in semanage yet he gave me the advice to revive a discussion[1] on this list from 2006. It began because a patch against semanage was posted which enabled nodecon support. It seems that the patch never got commited because it didn't work as expected. I writing because I would like to know if there's any chance to get that fully working. I played around with the patch and I could set labels to nodes and my SELinux seems to respect these settings. f.i # semanage node -t blacknetwork_node_t -a -p 0 -M 255.255.255.255 192.168.100.54 $ ./socat -u TCP4-LISTEN:5555,bind=192.168.100.54,reuseaddr,fork - ... type=AVC msg=audit(1215085777.002:689775728): avc: denied { node_bind } for pid=26627 comm="socat" saddr=192.168.100.54 src=5555 scontext=user_u:user_r:exe_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:blacknetwork_node_t:s0 tclass=tcp_socket So, this seems to work. But I run into problems when I told semanage about the *actual* netmask of this node, which is 255.255.255.0. The tcontext string switched from "blacknetwork_node_t" to the generic "node_t".
