Attached and below is a short /var/log/messages file showing the avc 
denied messages that are generated using the current strict 
policy(selinux-policy-strict-sources-1.14.1-5). Note the messages 
inserted with "logger" that indicate where I switched from enforcing to 
permissive to actually get logrotate to work.
HTH and please let me know if you need additional information.
