Description of problem: SELinux is preventing pppd (pppd_t) "write" to (pppd_etc_t).Detailed DescriptionSELinux denied access requested by pppd. It is not expected that this access is required by pppd and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access.Allowing AccessSometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials. You could try to restore the default system file context for , restorecon -v If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this access. Instead, you can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended.

restorecon -R -v /etc/ Should fix the labeing/ Not sure how this got mislabeled.
Thanks for the response Daniel. I thought that the restorecon was a terminal command, but the error message indicated that it wasn't, at least on my system.(In reply to comment #1) > restorecon -R -v /etc/ > > Should fix the labeing/ > > Not sure how this got mislabeled. >
