proftpd with systemd on F-15

[Paul Howarth]

I get various AVCs related to cgroup usage with systemd when logging in 
to proftpd on F-15:

audit2allow -R suggests:

fs_manage_cgroup_dirs(ftpd_t)
fs_manage_cgroup_files(ftpd_t)
init_read_state(ftpd_t)

proftpd does appear to work despite these messages, so I'm wondering if 
it would be better to dontaudit these rather than allow them?
