SELinux: creating a per-user confined domain

[Roberto Sassu]

Thanks all for replies.
I have modified the policy by using the template
userdom_unpriv_user_template() and everything is ok.
Talking about different labels for each home directory i'm not sure but if
all users domains have access to the default type user_home_dir_t
access control on files under /home will be based on DAC mechanism.
My effort is focused on trying to evaluate if it is possible with SELinux to
protect files using as criteria for access decision the combination user
identity-application-identity.
For example i want to protect the user's private key allowing the access
only to the program "ssh" ran by the user "user1".
In my policy i created the domain "user1_t" which is set by the login
program when "user1" logs in the system. Then i called the interface
ssh_basic_client_template(user1, user1_t, user1_r) which creates the derived
domain user1_ssh_t at the time user1 executes the "ssh" command. The file
$home/.ssh/id_rsa could be labeled with a unique label and a specific rule
can be added to allow only the user1_ssh_t domain to read the key.
Denying to users the ability to set security contexts, does this policy
create a separation between the ssh application and the others ran by the
same user?
