There is a new feature in SELinux that allows you to modify a running
policy. Basically you can define booleans in policy that an admin can
then decide to turn on or off. To allow users to ping you can execute
the following command.
> ping 4.2.2.2
ping: icmp open socket: Permission denied
> show_bools
user_ping --> active: 0 pending: 0
As root
# change_bool user_ping 1
> show_bools
user_ping --> active: 1 pending: 1
>ping 4.2.2.2
PING 4.2.2.2 (4.2.2.2) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 4.2.2.2: icmp_seq=0 ttl=248 time=10.0 ms
64 bytes from 4.2.2.2: icmp_seq=1 ttl=248 time=10.6 ms
To show the available booleans you can use show_bools.
show_bools
user_ping --> active: 0 pending: 0
