This bug was accidentally moved from POST to MODIFIED via an error in automation, please see mmccune with any questions

As automated TC (/CoreOS/selinux-policy/Regression/pcp-daemons-and-similar) found out, pmlogger and pmie still runs as unconfined_service_t when started by systemd.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
pcp-3.11.3-4.el7.ppc64
selinux-policy-3.13.1-96.el7.noarch

Actual results:
# grep "ExecStart" /usr/lib/systemd/system/pmie.service
ExecStart=/usr/share/pcp/lib/pmie start

# matchpathcon /usr/share/pcp/lib/pmie
/usr/share/pcp/lib/pmie	system_u:object_r:lib_t:s0

# grep "ExecStart" /usr/lib/systemd/system/pmlogger.service
ExecStart=/usr/share/pcp/lib/pmlogger start

# matchpathcon /usr/share/pcp/lib/pmlogger
/usr/share/pcp/lib/pmlogger	system_u:object_r:lib_t:s0

Expected results:
# matchpathcon /usr/share/pcp/lib/pmlogger
/usr/share/pcp/lib/pmlogger	system_u:object_r:pcp_pmlogger_exec_t:s0
# matchpathcon /usr/share/pcp/lib/pmie
/usr/share/pcp/lib/pmie	system_u:object_r:pcp_pmie_exec_t:s0

Could not start pmlogger service, getting AVCs. Service pmie starts fine.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
selinux-policy-3.13.1-97.el7.noarch
pcp-3.11.3-4.el7.x86_64
