:*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that httpd should have the sys_admin capability 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 /usr/sbin/httpd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

sys_admin is a very dangerous access, any idea why httpd is running as root and needs sys_admin privs?
