:
:*****  Plugin sys_resource (91.4 confidence) suggests  ***********************
:
:If you do not want to get this AVC any longer. These AVC's are caused by running out of resources, usually disk space on your / partition.
:Then you must cleanup diskspace or make sure you are not running too many processes.
:Do
:clear up your disk.
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (9.59 confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that sssd_pam should have the sys_resource capability 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 sssd_pam /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Ah, you are right. We have it.

So we need to backport it.
