:SELinux is preventing /sbin/ifconfig from 'read' accesses on the None /run/vmware-active-nics.

:*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that ifconfig should be allowed read access on the vmware-active-nics <Unknown> 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 ifconfig /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2012-02-03 09:33:36 UTC
This is a vmware leak file descriptor. You can dontaudit it using

# grep ifconfig /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -D -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Also what is your output of

# ps -eZ |grep vmware
