:*****  Plugin leaks (50.5 confidence) suggests  ******************************
:
:If you want to ignore passwd trying to write access the out.txt file, because you believe it should not need this access.
:Then you should report this as a bug.  
:You can generate a local policy module to dontaudit this access.
:Do
:# grep /usr/bin/passwd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -D -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (50.5 confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that passwd should be allowed write access on the out.txt 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 passwd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp
