Description Mikhail 2013-02-17 10:59:31 UTC
Description of problem:
SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-hostnamed from 'write' accesses on the chr_file kmsg.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that systemd-hostnamed should be allowed write access on the kmsg chr_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 systemd-hostnam /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
