:SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/vmnet-dhcpd from 'write' accesses on the directory /etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd.
:
:*****  Plugin restorecon (94.8 confidence) suggests  *************************
:
:If you want to fix the label. 
:/etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd default label should be vmware_sys_conf_t.
:Then you can run restorecon.
:Do
:# /sbin/restorecon -v /etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd
:
:*****  Plugin catchall_labels (5.21 confidence) suggests  ********************
:
:If you want to allow vmnet-dhcpd to have write access on the dhcpd directory
:Then you need to change the label on /etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd
:Do
:# semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE '/etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd'
:where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: var_log_t, var_run_t, vmware_host_pid_t, vmware_host_tmp_t, tmp_t, vmware_log_t, vmware_sys_conf_t, root_t. 
:Then execute: 
:restorecon -v '/etc/vmware/vmnet8/dhcpd'
:
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (1.44 confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that vmnet-dhcpd should be allowed write access on the dhcpd directory 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 vmnet-dhcpd /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp

Execute

No, I've not modified this directory....
