Description Carl G. 2010-07-09 00:02:07 UTC 
Summary:

SELinux is preventing /sbin/modprobe "execute" access on /sbin/modprobe.

Detailed Description:

[SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by modprobe. It is not expected that this access
is required by modprobe 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.

Allowing Access:

You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ
(http://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2010-07-09 06:20:06 UTC 
I think we need to add label for ebtables. I am seeing the same issue on RHEL6.

Carl,
could you try to execute

chcon -t iptables_exec_t /sbin/ebtables
Comment 2 Miroslav Grepl 2010-07-09 15:48:31 UTC 
SELinux support for ebtables was added to selinux-policy-3.8.6-2.fc14
