To date the behavior of a Smack system running with nltype
unlabeled has been carefully undefined. The way you're defining
it will result in a system in which only processes running with
the ambient label will be able to use sockets, unless I'm reading
the code incorrectly. This seems like "correct" behavior, but
I don't think it is what those who've tried it would expect.
