The following was filed automatically by setroubleshoot: Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/NetworkManager "unlink" access on nm-system-settings.conf. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by NetworkManager. It is not expected that this access is required by NetworkManager 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 Access: You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug report.

Does networkmanager really need to unlink this file? Does it write it also?
