Like what Stephen had mentioned, you should check and make sure the files are labeled correctly. before doing a make enable audit.(this way you don't strip down you're policy); With the syslog either you have it installed incorrectly, or there still is denials showing up causing syslog to partially work. i.g. I usually do a "rm /var/log/syslog, touch /var/log/syslog, reboot, audit2allow -i /var/log/syslog", to see any dbus avc's (that is if dbus is running correctly); most likely if you are booting into permissive and syslog start's right up, as opposed to enforcing, then there's a denial floating around that needs to be allowed. As for setting permissive mode, what is you're initial context? (i.g. id -Z once you've started up.); regards; -- Justin P.
