Audisp plugin and SELinux

Hello,

My audisp plugin has a file-based database in /var/lib/xxx directory. I 
noticed that on systems with SELinux enabled plugin cannot read/write 
that file.

According to ps, plugin is run under audisp_t domain:

-bash-4.1$ ps axZ | grep plugin
unconfined_u:system_r:audisp_t:s0 1845 ? S< 0:00 /usr/sbin/plugin 1

Obviously I don't want to disable SELinux. What would be the recommended 
way to allow plugin read/write file(s) under /var/run/xxx ?

-Lev
