pptp 1.7.2 has been in Fedora for some time now and I had some local
policy tweaks to make it work for ages but never got round to
mentioning them here. So here goes. I add these to make my ADSL link
work:

# pptp 1.7.2
# Calls /sbin/ip via popen() to read and modify routes
corecmd_exec_shell(pptp_t)
sysnet_domtrans_ifconfig(pptp_t)
# Needs to look up names
auth_use_nsswitch(pptp_t)
# Calls getsockopt()
allow pptp_t self:fifo_file getattr;
# Not sure what this is about
kernel_read_system_state(pptp_t)

I also get this at startup, which is an SELinux issue but I'm unsire
what to do about it as it doesn't stop things working:

Warning: can't open options file /root/.ppprc: Permission denied
