Description bugzilla 2016-11-08 08:45:12 UTC
Description of problem:
With Workstation pro 12.5, just run ifconfig on a newly created Fedora 25
SELinux is preventing ifconfig from 'read' accesses on the file /run/vmware-active-nics.

*****  Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests   ************************

If you want to fix the label. 
/run/vmware-active-nics default label should be vmware_host_pid_t.
Then you can run restorecon.
Do
# /sbin/restorecon -v /run/vmware-active-nics

*****  Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that ifconfig should be allowed read access on the vmware-active-nics file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# ausearch -c 'ifconfig' --raw | audit2allow -M my-ifconfig
# semodule -X 300 -i my-ifconfig.pp
