Description Marko Myllynen 2016-12-13 11:32:14 UTC
Description of problem:
With the default main.cf which has:

# Enable IPv4, and IPv6 if supported
inet_protocols = all

Booting with ipv6.disable=1 we can see constant AVCs:

type=AVC msg=audit(1481628221.412:81): avc:  denied  { module_request } for  pid=1597 comm="postfix" kmod="net-pf-10" scontext=system_u:system_r:postfix_master_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:system_r:kernel_t:s0 tclass=system

Please close this if you consider this being a configuration issue (but given the comment in the configuration file this might be something to adjust). Thanks.

Comment 1 Marko Myllynen 2016-12-13 11:36:13 UTC
Actually, I see similar AVC from PCP and chronyd as well. Re-assigning to selinux-policy, probably best to fix there (if at all). Thanks.

Comment 6 Lukas Vrabec 2017-03-23 10:55:54 UTC
Thank you Marko, 
This AVC will be dontaudited.
