Eliminating booleans would be great and replacing them with tunables,
but the tunables must be discoverable, and it must be easy for the
administrator to discover the "tunable" and turn it on.
Currently audit2allow/audit2why turns on all booleans in a policy and
checks to see if an AVC would be allowed with any boolean. Then it
prints out the booleans that would have allowed the access. We use
this functionality within setroubleshoot. This is critical to making
selinux policy usable.
User wants to allow ftp to access homedirs, he sets up ftp and SELinux
blocks the access. Setroubleshoot comes up and says turn on the
ftp_home_dir boolean to allow this access.
If we can not duplicate this functionality then I NAK the change from
booleans to tunables.
