The problem is that there is no way to un-accept a connection, once you have 
accepted it.  This was discussed in several threads on the SELinux and netdev 
mailing lists last year as we grappled with the correct way to label child 
sockets generated by an accept() call.

I understand what you want to do (I wanted the same thing), but it's just not 
practical; security_socket_post_accept() will most likely always been 
an "advisory" hook.  I would encourage you to look at the hooks that were 
added in the 2.6.(18 or 19, can't remember off the top of my head right now) 
timeframe which allow the LSM to better control/label the sockets during the 
TCP handshake; this may allow you to do what you want.
