Description William Brown 2014-07-22 05:34:45 UTC
Description of problem:
Using nmcli on fedora 20. It is likely that there are more actions than just this which could trigger denials. May be worth running some tests on editing and creating interfaces etc. It will become possibly easier with nmtui on F21 and El7
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/nmcli from 'write' accesses on the sock_file .

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests   **************************

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