This one might be normal; sshd generates a similar error message.

Most of these should be fixed in the latest selinux-policy update:
# yum update selinux\* policycoreutils libsepol
This policy module should fix the others. Create files myclamd.fc and
myclamd.te in the /root/selinux.local you made last time, and run "make"
in that directory.
####### myclamd.fc (one long line) #######
/var/log/clamav/clamd.* --
gen_context(system_u:object_r:clamd_var_log_t,s0)
####### myclamd.te #######
policy_module(myclamd, 0.1.0)
require {
type clamd_t;
};
# Allow clamd to send syslog messages
# This is clamav 1.0.1
#logging_send_syslog_msg(clamd_t)
# term_dontaudit_use_generic_ptys(clamd_t) is in clamav 1.0.1
#term_dontaudit_use_generic_ptys(clamd_t)
kernel_read_kernel_sysctls(clamd_t)
Then load the new module:
# semodule -i myclamd
Check you have the required module versions
# semodule -l
amavis 1.0.4
clamav 1.0.1
myclamd 0.1.0
myfreshclam, 0.1.0
Fix /var/log/clamav file contexts:
# restorecon -rv /var/log/clamav
restorecon reset /var/log/clamav/clamd.log context
user_u:object_r:var_log_t->system_u:object_r:clamd_var_log_t
Then try restarting clamav and see if any more AVCs appear. If not, try
again in enforcing mode.
I updated selinux\* policycoreutils and libsepol. I created the files
myclamd.fc and myclamd.te and issued the "make"-command.
Loading the new module gives me this output:
selinux.local]# semodule -i myclamd
semodule: Could not read file 'myclamd':
I wish I could be more helpfull, but this is way beyond my understanding
of SELinux (and clamav). So I simply follow your suggestions and report
what is happening.
