I just wiped my FC2T1 install and installed FC2T2 with selinux.  The good 
news is FC2T2 seems to work properly for me (I have only used FC2T2 for 
about 1 hour so far) with the following exception.  I have an Actiontec call 
waiting modem and use dial-up to connect to the internet.  Everything worked 
properly under FC2T1, but now I cannot connect to the internet.   I was 
logged in as root at the time I tried to connect to the internet.  I type 
/etc/ppp/ppp-on and I get the following message:

audit(1080793144.199:0): avc:  denied  { write } for
pid=2983 exe=/usr/sbin/pppd name=ppp dev=sdb2 ino=32585
scontext=root:system_r:pppd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:etc_t tclass=dir

Can you please fix the policy to make this work? If it is not a policy issue 
then what can I do to make this work?  I would prefer to leave selinux 
working so I can test everything I use and report problems.

Thank you,

Jason Dravet
