Looks like an apps is leaking. Do you want what you were doing when this happened. Probably this relates with vmware. Looks like whoever opens the file /run/vmware-active-nics is leaking the file descriptor to ifconfig. Running restorecon on the /run should fix the label but the problem is the vmware instance is probably running with the wrong label. ps -eZ | grep initrc_t @Comment1: Yes I wanted to install and configure the vmware tools by the pl-file as instructed by them. I initiated the process at the command-line by hand. I've not succeeded in installing the whole thing completely. As far as I have googled that might partially(?) be the fault of that vmware-script. (may not be related to this issue) I'm not a pro, if I can/should provide specific info please instruct on how to obtain them. Just run in terminal # ps -eZ | grep initrc_t That results in the following output: system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 1111 ? 00:00:00 lldpad system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 1185 ? 00:00:00 tpvmlp Looks like it is tpvmlp, which has shown itself to leak in the past. I would just dontaudit this # grep init_var_run_t /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2alow -D -M myifconfig # semodule -i myifconfig.pp |
