Description of problem:
 SELinux is preventing /sbin/pppoe (pppd_t) "write" to pppoe-adsl.pid.pppoe
    (var_run_t). The SELinux type %TARGET_TYPE, is a generic type for all files
    in the directory and very few processes (SELinux Domains) are allowed to
    write to this SELinux type.  This type of denial usual indicates a
    mislabeled file.  By default a file created in a directory has the gets the
    context of the parent directory, but SELinux policy has rules about the
    creation of directories, that say if a process running in one SELinux Domain
    (D1) creates a file in a directory with a particular SELinux File Context
    (F1) the file gets a different File Context (F2).  The policy usually allows
    the SELinux Domain (D1) the ability to write or append on (F2).  But if for
    some reason a file (pppoe-adsl.pid.pppoe) was created with the wrong
    context, this domain will be denied.  The usual solution to this problem is
    to reset the file context on the target file, restorecon -v pppoe-
    adsl.pid.pppoe.  If the file context does not change from var_run_t, then
    this is probably a bug in policy.  Please file a
    http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against the selinux-policy
    package. If it does change, you can try your application again to see if it
    works.  The file context could have been mislabeled by editing the file or
    moving the file from a different directory, if the file keeps getting
    mislabeled, check the init scripts to see if they are doing something to
    mislabel the file.

Allowing Access
    You can attempt to fix file context by executing restorecon -v pppoe-
    adsl.pid.pppoe

    The following command will allow this access:
    restorecon pppoe-adsl.pid.pppoe
