I did the following:

(pocono pts18) # rpm -Fvh selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.117.noarch.rpm
Preparing...                ########################################### [100%]
   1:selinux-policy-targeted########################################### [100%]
(pocono pts18) #

And I got the following in the logs:

Oct 24 10:59:21 pocono dbus: Can't send to audit system: USER_AVC pid=3064 uid=81 loginuid=-1 message=avc:  denied  { send_msg } for  scontext=user_u:system_r:unconfined_t tcontext=user_u:system_r:initrc_t tclass=dbus

So far no more avc messages. They were showing up every 5-15 seconds
before. It has been approx 5 minutes with no avc messages. 

Is there anything else I should be looking at?

Is there a bug for this?

Thank You for the help.
