The latest update now causes frequent SELinux alerts. The alerts are all the same: SELinux is preventing NetworkManager from read access on the file /etc/sysctl.conf. ***** Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests *************************** If you believe that NetworkManager should be allowed read access on the sysctl.conf 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 NetworkManager /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol # semodule -i mypol.pp Additional Information: Source Context system_u:system_r:NetworkManager_t:s0 Target Context system_u:object_r:system_conf_t:s0 Target Objects /etc/sysctl.conf [ file ] Source NetworkManager Source Path NetworkManager Port <Unknown> Source RPM Packages Target RPM Packages initscripts-9.34.2-1.fc16.x86_64 Policy RPM selinux-policy-3.10.0-80.fc16.noarch Selinux Enabled True Policy Type targeted Enforcing Mode Enforcing This happens whenever network connectivity is established: booting, docking or manual network enable.

Same issue here. I tried relabeling the filesystem, issue remains.

It seems the just pushed selinux-policy-3.10.0-84.fc16.noarch and selinux-policy-targeted-3.10.0-84.fc16.noarch resolved this issue for me.
As of 4/25/2012, this has been resolved for me as well.
