I wonder if this would help my situation with denyhosts.  The problem
with denyhosts is that it needs to write to /etc/hosts.deny, which
means that from the standpoint of selinux it needs to write to etc_t,
which means it gets to write to /etc/passwd as well.  I've not
bothered to even attempt to write a policy for denyhosts given that it
would be mostly pointless if it would still get to trash /etc.
