Yes and no. Labeled networking consists of several different subsystems because the term "labeled networking" can often mean several different things. I'll spare everyone the gory details, but if you are interested in more information check out the SELinux mailing list archives from the past month; there has been a lot of discussion about the different types of labeled networking and the requirements/goals of each. NetLabel is just one subsystem that provides labeled networking functionality (CIPSO is provided through the NetLabel subsystem), Labeled IPsec and SECMARK also provide labeled networking functionality. Originally I wrote/supported/maintained just NetLabel but over the past weekend James Morris asked me to look after all of the different labeled networking subsystems ... for better or worse I agreed :) If having both a labeled networking and NetLabel maintainer entry is a problem then how about the patch below?
