Note that a manual "ifup ppp0" of course works due to different context! Cross-filed case 00881225 in the Red Hat customer portal. Thank you for the report. Unfortunately, ppp package is not going to be updated in the next maintenance release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Due to the update policy I am unable to address this issue right now. This bug maybe addressed in some future release of RHEL. I really dislike to read this, escalating case 00881225. If fixing of this bug is really important for you escalation of the support case is IMHO the best way to get the fix. Thanks for your understanding and cooperation. I have no problem with merging patch. I'll try to get this in for RHEL-6.7. This also needs PM and QA review tough. http://pkgs.devel.redhat.com/cgit/rpms/ppp/commit/?h=rhel-6.7&id=aa0e5851f41f3c28e6a02919c16766dd442d139e -> MODIFIED Since the problem described in this bug report should be resolved in a recent advisory, it has been closed with a resolution of ERRATA.

Description of problem: Configure 3G without NetworkManager stuff, thus classical networking, and try to do a "service network restart". It will not bring up the ppp0 interface of 3G but cause this SELinux message: type=AVC msg=audit(1369839157.521:192552): avc: denied { read write } for pid=2498 comm="pppd" name="pppd2.tdb" dev=sda2 ino=10488093 scontext=unconfined_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 tcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:var_run_t:s0 tclass=file type=SYSCALL msg=audit(1369839157.521:192552): arch=x86_64 syscall=open success=no exit=EACCES a0=7f56b24e3d2f a1=42 a2=1a4 a3=0 items=0 ppid=2496 pid=2498 auid=0 uid=0 gid=0 euid=0 suid=0 fsuid=0 egid=0 sgid=0 fsgid=0 tty=(none) ses=15156 comm=pppd exe=/usr/sbin/pppd subj=unconfined_u:system_r:pppd_t:s0 key=(null) Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): ppp-2.4.5-5.el6.x86_64 How reproducible: Everytime, see above and below. Actual results: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/pppd from 'read, write' accesses on the file pppd2.tdb Expected results: No issues, no AVC denied. Additional info: http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ppp.git/plain/ppp-2.4.5-var_run_ppp.patch applying solves the issue. This issue was already resolved for Fedora with Red Hat Bugzilla #560014.
