Okay, well that at least loaded my simple test policy but it didn't appear to have any effect on /selinux/policy_capabilities/network_peer_controls. This may be a problem with the kernel patch but before I started digging around I thought I would first check with you on the correct policy syntax.

I'm using a Rawhide targeted policy and I'm loading a simple policy module with the following statements:

 policy_module(peer_test,0.0.1)
 policycap network_peer_controls;
 type peer_test_t;

It compiles (using /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile) and loads (semodule -i peer_test.pp) but I'm not certain I haven't messed something up.
