Any idea why rsyslod would be searching the /etc/samba directory?
(In reply to comment #1) > Any idea why rsyslod would be searching the /etc/samba directory? I am not sure, I installed samba-winbind package for connecting to wireless internet provided by a public library. You need to additionally edit the /etc/nsswitch.conf file and change the hosts line to hosts: files dns wins (instead of hosts: files dns myhostname). This hack is the only way I can connect to the internet provided by the library. This may be the reason I am greeted by selinux on every login perhaps.
If you do this in permissive mode do you see any additional avc messages?
(In reply to comment #3) > If you do this in permissive mode do you see any additional avc messages? OK, I edited the /etc/selinux/config file and set "SELINUX=permissive", while kept "SELINUXTYPE=targeted". I rebooted to see if I get selinux messages and I get another one, related to sendmail this time. I reported this to bugzilla as well.

Actually, there were 6 alerts in permissive mode, I didn't realize in my first login to my account in permissive mode. I sent a few more reports to bugzilla. I switched back to enforcing and this time I am getting 2 alerts; this one and another related to chronyd (bug 826753 I guess).
