Description Viktor Erdelyi 2008-08-09 19:26:47 UTC
Created attachment 313883 [details]
SELinux alert

Description of problem:

SELinux denied access requested by pppd. It is not expected that this access is
required by pppd and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also
possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is
causing it to require additional access.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
latest update

How reproducible:
It usually occurs when me or a program tries to deactivate and activate the pppoe connection.

Actual results:
AVC denial

Expected results:
silent operation

Additional info:
I'm using ADSL, no router, no local network, only a DSL modem.

I think it's getting old and it's fixed, I close it.
