It looks as though what is happening is that some code (from a vendor)  
logs in over ssh and that ssh session has context unconfined_t. The  
sigkill avc messages fall on the heels of the ssh session logging out.  
I don't know what that code does while it's logged in. I have  
forwarded a request to find that out on to someone who is in a  
position to contact the vendor and ask. I haven't heard back yet.
