I have an issue when running SELinux in targeted mode with openswan on CentOS 5.

On one node it works well, but another node fails with:

/bin/sh: error while loading shared libraries: libtermcap.so.2: cannot
open shared object file: Permission denied

when I try to do a 'service ipsec start'. with 'setenforce 0' the
service starts.

the output that ends up in my dmesg is:

type=1400 audit(1278489551.987:60): avc:  denied  { search } for

scontext=user_u:system_r:ipsec_mgmt_t:s0
tcontext=system_u:object_r:file_t:s0 tclass=dir

and as permissive:
