Description of problem: I have network manager (NM) setup to use my bluetooth phone as a mobile broadband modem. When I initiate a connection I get selinux failures about pppd not be allowed to access "/var/run/pppd2.tdb".

Setup a broadband connection needing ppp. 2. Try and connect using nm-applet 3.

I tested following commands to allow this and it works at me: # audit2allow -M mypol -l -i /var/log/audit/audit.log # semodule -i mypol.pp This issue should fix new release of selinux-policy.
I tested it with selinux-policy-3.3.1-87.fc9.noarch and it works fine. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 249152 ***
