Presumably it works when you are in permissive mode but fails when you are in enforcing mode, or does it fail in permissive too? If it works in permissive mode but you aren't seeing any AVC failures, you may want to try removing the dontaudit rules from the policy. You can do that via 'semodule -DB' (the semodule(8) manpage has some examples). You may find that in the near term you need something like Fedora's unlabelednet policy module which blanket allows unlabeled network traffic to all the domains on the system. > I've tried tcpdump on the host, to no avail.

That is the only interface which should be doing any explicit labeling; if you see CIPSO IP options on non-loopback interfaces something is wrong. I would also expect you to see CIPSO options on the loopback traffic, do you? As an aside, Wireshark does know how to parse CIPSO options so you should be able to peek at them that way; although Wireshark does not know about the "local" tag type we use on loopback (... and it shouldn't, it's a horrible abuse of CIPSO, done intentionally <g>). > On localhost, I can't connect to any running daemons (such as SSH), and > I've specifically not added the NIC that is bridged to my LAN (in a maybe > misguided attempt to keep traffic from the LAN unmarked) to any netlabel > rules.
