I have two issues with CIPSO and Smack: 1- Using default configuration (system startup script + smacfs fstab line), system can't access any service outside the Lan. "ICMP parameter problem message" always appear from the first Wan router (traceroute + tcpdump at [1]). Services inside the LAN can be accessed normally. System can connect to a Lan Windows share. It also connects to the gateway HTTP server easily. After some tweaking, I discovered that using CIPSOv6 solves all above problems: $ echo -n "NLBL_CIPSOv6" > /smack/nltype Is this a normal behaviour ? 2- > 4.

Default conf let the ambient attribute = _ which works fine. Setting ambient = * stops all external (non lo) network traffic. Did I miss another use of "ambient" or this is a normal behaviour ?. > +Administration > + > +Smack supports some mount options: > + > + smackfsdef=label: specifies the label to give files that lack > + the Smack label extended attribute. > + Although using smackfsdef=* as a mount option, all my system files have the floor attribute. Most of the /dev files have the * attribute though.
