Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Running targeted/enforcing, latest rawhide.

Notice the following AVC generated by VMware init sequence:
Mar 30 06:33:35 localhost kernel: audit(1112193215.505:0): avc: denied { search } for pid=3690 exe=/sbin/ifconfig name=net dev=sysfs
ino=225 scontext=user_u:system_r:ifconfig_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:sysfs_t tclass=dir
Mar 30 06:33:35 localhost kernel: vmnet8: failed sysfs registration (-13)

This seems to imply:
allow ifconfig_t sysfs_t:dir search;

ifconfig.te has
domain_auto_trans(initrc_t, ifconfig_exec_t, ifconfig_t)

So, should ifconfig_t be allowed the same access to sysfs_t as initrc_t, such as
r_dir_file(ifconfig_t, sysfs_t)

thanks,

Not sure that it needs this. Have you tried to allow it and seen if it gets more AVC messages?
Or attempted to setenforce 0 to see if it asks for others.
