>Summary:
>
>SELinux is preventing the automount from using potentially mislabeled files
>(./hosts).
>
>Detailed Description:
>
>SELinux has denied automount access to potentially mislabeled file(s) (./hosts).
>This means that SELinux will not allow automount to use these files. It is
>common for users to edit files in their home directory or tmp directories and
>then move (mv) them to system directories. The problem is that the files end up
>with the wrong file context which confined applications are not allowed to
>access.
>
>Allowing Access:
>
>If you want automount to access this files, you need to relabel them using
>restorecon -v './hosts'. You might want to relabel the entire directory using
>restorecon -R -v '.'.
