First off if these files need to be written to by a daemon, I would
suggest to the author, they be moved to /var, which is where variable
data should be, I think if you label the directory
httpd_sys_script_rw_t these avc's will dissapear
chcon -R -t httpd_sys_script_rw_t /etc/httpd/conf/webauth
Of course this will allow all system scripts to rw these files, DAC
permissions are still in effect.
Is this package in Fedora?
