writing policy requires testing. i usually do my testing in permissive
mode or with permissive domains.

basically in my initial policy i declare type for know object and
subjects, i make the types usable. Then i add file context
specifications so that the objects are labelled properly. in my initial
policy i also define the domain transitions.

Then i usually test in permissive mode. collect as many AVC denials as i
can and then translate them into human readable policy and extend the
policy module, rebuild, reload and start over again, test, collect,
extend, build, install etc.
