Ok, I think what you want to do is use /smack/netlabel as shown around line
425 in linux-2.6/Documentation/Smack.txt.  I haven't played with it yet,
but will tomorrow if you don't get a chance.  So basically I think you should
be able to do:

echo 127.0.0.1 -CIPSO > /smack/netlabel
echo 0.0.0.0/0 @      > /smack/netlabel

to open up the network.

Does that work?
