Description of problem:

SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/systemctl from read access on the directory journal.

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

If you believe that systemctl should be allowed read access on the journal directory 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:
# ausearch -c 'systemctl' --raw | audit2allow -M my-systemctl
# semodule -X 300 -i my-systemctl.pp

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

# rpm -qa cobbler*
cobbler-selinux-3.3.7-1.el9.noarch
cobbler-3.3.7-1.el9.noarch

# rpm -qa systemd
systemd-252-46.0.3.el9_5.3.x86_64

How reproducible: always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. dnf install cobbler 
2. systemctl start cobblerd
3. cobbler check

Actual results: SELinux prevents /usr/bin/systemctl run by cobblerd from read access on the directory journal.

Expected results: 'cobbler check' does not result in SELinux errors.
