Description Sune Foldager 2006-10-15 06:12:33 UTC

Syslog-ng (when compiled with USE=selinux) has rules to direct audit log info
from kmsg, to /var/log/audit.log. This file, however, is labelled in a way that
doesn't allow syslog-ng to access it.

So either syslog-ng should be able to access it, or the rules should be removed
from its default config file.

fixed in selinux-base-policy-20061015.  you'll have to restorecon the file after updating.
