netutils_t is a process context not a file context.


# sesearch -A -s netutils_t -c file -p write
Found 4 semantic av rules:
    allow domain afs_cache_t : file { read write } ;
    allow netutils_t netutils_t : file { ioctl read write getattr lock 
append open } ;
    allow netutils_t logfile : file { ioctl read write getattr lock 
append open } ;
    allow netutils_t netutils_tmp_t : file { ioctl read write create 
getattr setattr lock append unlink link rename open } ;

Looks like netutils_tmp_t is your best option.
