Hi folks,
I have just started having some problems with selinux. I'm using FC3 with the
targetted policy. It was running enforced; now merely permissive because of the
problems. The box is running BIND/named in master mode (i.e. it is master for
some domains, but not supplying those domains to other demons) and a dhcp
server. I have today used yum to update both daemons from the updates-released
repo, and am now getting errors of this sort (note this is a sample - there are
many more):

Using audit2allow on the full set gives the following:
allow dhcpd_t device_t:sock_file write;
allow dhcpd_t file_t:dir { add_name search write };
allow dhcpd_t file_t:file { append create execute getattr link read unlink
write };
allow dhcpd_t file_t:lnk_file read;
allow dhcpd_t unconfined_t:unix_dgram_socket sendto;
allow named_t device_t:sock_file write;
allow named_t file_t:dir search;
allow named_t file_t:file { execute getattr read };
allow named_t file_t:lnk_file read;
allow named_t unconfined_t:unix_dgram_socket sendto;
Now, would you expect that I should need to modify the settings?
Might it be appropriate to recompile the policy even though I've not changed it
myself?
I have also been seeing many avc:s from attempts to run rndc. The following
might be indicative (I just "prompted" these by doing service named status):
