1:57 a.m.
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.
