Audit2allow doesn't actually change the policy. It just proposes a
change that you need to make manually. Did you add it to your policy
file then do a 'cd /etc/selinux/strict/src/policy; make load'? I believe
the policy file you need to edit might be located at
/etc/selinux/strict/src/policy/domains/misc/local.te but I would
encourage you to research SELinux on your own if you are not familiar
with it. Additionally, it is my understanding that audit2allow likely
proposes a policy change that may be more open than is required. Again,
research on your part based on your acceptable policies would be
warranted.
