My idea was to add a line : /var/log/ppp-usage -- system_u:object_r:pppd_log_t in /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts (circa at line 1441 - ppp section you will find a simualar expression) and # setfiles -vv </etc/selinux/(...)/file_contexts> /var/log/ppp-usage or # touch /.autorelabel && reboot That works for now.
