Sorry about that. :-) Ok, I used Eric's kernel and determined the following. First, it doesn't seem the SPD completely determines the rules for ipsec related to MLS. I set my spd to have "s2", and the SAs created by racoon all had "s0-s15:c0.c1023". In fact they get this no matter what. This does not seem correct behavior to me. I looked at the code and it seems we are tacking on the mls label of the flow's secid to our SA's security context. But I could not find where the flow's secid gets set on output anywhere in xfrm code. I do not understand this. Ok, next, I removed the policy in my spd, but SAs created by racoon stayed around. I had to manually flush them to remove them. Joy -- redhat-lspp mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-lspp
