When I run my ftpd as a xinetd service, and attempt to log in
(unix-style), I get this from SElinux:
Summary
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd (ftpd_t) "search" to net
(proc_net_t).
Detailed Description
SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd. It is not
expected that this access is required by /usr/sbin/pure-ftpd and this
access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the
specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to
require additional access.
Allowing Access
Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could
try to restore the default system file context for net, restorecon -v
net If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow
this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow
this access - see
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 Or you can
disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is
not recommended. Please file a
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
against this package.

I tried to allow access; I saw that there is a directory 'net' in proc:
[root@d500 proc]# restorecon -v net
lstat(net) failed: Permission denied
Now what? Did I do this wrong, or do I need to create a 'local policy
module'?
