:SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/pppd from 'ioctl' accesses on the chr_file /dev/ttyUSB0.
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that pppd should be allowed ioctl access on the ttyUSB0 chr_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:
:# grep pppd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2011-10-06 12:37:47 UTC
Could you execute

# semanage permissive -a pppd_t

re-test it

# ausearch -m avc -ts recent

Comment 2 Theodore Lee 2011-10-07 07:35:59 UTC
I'm having the same issue when trying to establish a mobile broadband connection here - I managed to work around it by following setroubleshoot's advice and compiling a custom policy (several times though, once for getattr, then read/write, open, etc.). After disabling this policy and re-testing I get this:
