Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/avahi-autoipd "create" access. Detailed Description: [avahi-autoipd has a permissive type (avahi_t). This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by avahi-autoipd. It is not expected that this access is required by avahi-autoipd 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.

Not sure what it is doing, but I will allow You can add these rules for now using # grep avc /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Fixed in selinux-policy-3.6.32-47.fc12.noarch
Hey Daniel, the warning happens when I attempt to connect to my WLAN after having set the IPv4 method in NetworkManager's connection editor to «link-local addresses only». I think perhaps what it actually want to do is toe establish some kind of a raw socket in order to detect duplicate addresses (RFC 3927 section 2.2.1). Tore
