Denial showing up even when allow rule appied

[Anamitra Dutta Majumdar (anmajumd)]

We managed to install setools and we see the following as the output of
seinfo

[root at cap-715-pub ~]# seinfo -xtpwrecoveryd_t
Rule loading disabled
   pwrecoveryd_t
      @ttr0191
      @ttr1241
      @ttr2387
      @ttr2703


Thanks,
Anamitra
