SELinux is preventing /sbin/ifconfig from 'write' accesses on the file /var/cfengine/outputs/cf_vileknights_net_2010-12-27--21-01-01_1293501661. ***** Plugin catchall (50.5 confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that ifconfig should be allowed write access on the cf_vileknights_net_2010-12-27--21-01-01_1293501661 file by default. Then you should report this as a bug. You can generate a local policy module to allow this access. Do allow this access for now by executing: # grep /sbin/ifconfig /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp ***** Plugin leaks (50.5 confidence) suggests ****************************** If you want to ignore ifconfig trying to write access the cf_vileknights_net_2010-12-27--21-01-01_1293501661 file, because you believe it should not need this access.

cfengine should open its log files for append, not write.
This message is a notice that Fedora 14 is now at end of life. Fedora has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 14. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version' of '14' have been closed as WONTFIX. (Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.) Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were unable to fix it before Fedora 14 reached end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
