-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Are you running this with unconfined.pp disabled? Looks like you need policy for vmtoolsd. I was looking for auditd_t or setroubleshootd avc's. ps -eZ | grep sedispatch ps -eZ | grep setroubleshootd sedispatch sends avc messages via dbus to setroubleshootd, if setroubleshootd gets an AVC about itself, it will drop it on the floor, On 03/26/2013 03:01 PM, Anamitra Dutta Majumdar (anmajumd) wrote: > Hi Dan, > > Yes there are many denials being seen.
