I just verified that this still works correctly.  You can test it yourself by 
doing the following:

1. Connect to the machine via the network (ssh, telnet, etc.)
2. Once connected run a command that generates regular output (run 'date' in a 
loop)
3. On a console on the machine run the following

   # netlabelctl -p unlbl accept off
   <the output on the command from #2 should stop>
   # netlabelctl -p unlbl accept on
   <the output on the command from #2 should resume, assuming the TCP session 
didn't die>

You can check the status of the unlabeled accept flag by running the following 
command:

   # netlabelctl -p unlbl list
