Description of problem:

After enabling ulogd service and reboot, ulogd daemon fails with SELinux audit message (see below).  Manually start the service after system startup works, though.

The SELinux message seems to indicate that ulogd didn't have enough permission to do "module_request" on kernel module "net-pf-16-proto-12", which is an alias for nfnetlink.  However, after startup, running "systemctl start ulogd.service" or "service ulogd start" works.

The following message is the sealert output.

LC_ALL=C LANG=C sealert -l 92df2809-cee2-412b-a8f2-ca92d3cdf699
SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/ulogd from module_request access on the system .

*****  Plugin catchall_boolean (89.3 confidence) suggests   ******************

If you want to allow domain to kernel load modules
Then you must tell SELinux about this by enabling the 'domain_kernel_load_modules' boolean.
You can read 'None' man page for more details.
Do
setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1

*****  Plugin catchall (11.6 confidence) suggests   **************************

If you believe that ulogd should be allowed module_request access on the  system 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 ulogd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

selinux-policy-3.12.1-161.fc20.noarch
selinux-policy-targeted-3.12.1-161.fc20.noarch


How reproducible:

Always on system boot, never after startup.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Install, configure & enable ulogd.
2.  Reboot.
3.  Fail.

Actual results:

ulogd fails to start on boot and generates a SELinux error message.


Expected results:

ulogd should have run at startup.
