Hello!
Some more thoughts to this problem:
@Russel: I think you are right: these AVCs are logged, but (maybe) do
not influence the system.
In one of my earlier mails to this problem, I reported, that this was
not reproducible on Jessie. This is correct - as long as SYSV-init is
used. Today I installed systemd on Jessie and run into exactly this
problem.
Also here always the '/sys/class/net/eth0/operstate' is 'down'.
One observation (which might have nothing to do with this problem):
When using Jessie with SYSV-init, it takes quiet a long time to boot.
Most of the time is spend in:
'Waiting for /dev to be fully populated': 30sec
Using systemd the whole booting takes about 2sec.
When disabling SELinux (setting to permissive), the problem vanishes.
Here the 'operstate' is 'up' - and the network device is initialized.
I do not see any logged AVC either in permissive nor in enforcing
mode. And I'm not sure if this is a really problem of
selinux-policy-default or some other package.
All tests were done on a minimal installation of Debian in a VM.
The host system is Debian Jessie running KVM 2.0.0+dfsg-6+b1.
If you want, I can provide the VM where this problem occurs every
boot.
Kind regards
Andre
