Dear Daniel, Thanks for the help. I decided to create a custom policy with audit2allow. It seemed to work since I am not getting any more avc denied messages. I did see the following errors though and I was wondering what they meant. This means the custom policy was applied. Dec 4 15:45:10 dev kernel: security: 3 users, 4 roles, 355 types, 26 bools Dec 4 15:45:10 dev kernel: security: 55 classes, 22587 rules I was just wondering what these meant? Dec 4 15:45:10 dev dbus: Can't send to audit system: USER_AVC pid=3327 uid=81 loginuid=-1 message=avc: received policyload notice (seqno=3) Dec 4 15:45:10 dev dbus: Can't send to audit system: USER_AVC pid=3327 uid=81 loginuid=-1 message=avc: 0 AV entries and 0/512 buckets used, longest chain length 0 Thanks in advance.

The latest policy looks like this is allowed. So you can either update to the latest policy, or you can use grep snmpd_t /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mysnmp And load your own custom policy. > Thanks in advance. > > Denise Lopez > > UCLA Center for Digital Humanities > > Network Services > > Systems Engineer > > 337 Charles E.
