any ideas?
I tracked this issue down to the way the test runs:
1. SELinux policy gets installed via `semodule -i` in `
{east,west}init.sh`.
2. `pluto` starts via `ipsec start` in `{east,west}init.sh`.
3. Test runs.
4. SELinux policy gets removed via `semodule -r` in `final.sh`. *NOTE:*
`pluto` is still running at this point.
5. `pluto` and `ip` perform actions triggering AVC (Access Vector
Cache) deny messages since the above SELinux policy is no longer in
effect. These are the messages we see in the audit log.
6. `pluto` stops via `ipsec stop` in `post-mortem.sh`.
7. The audit log we see is output in `post-mortem.sh`.
The solution is to not remove the SELinux policy until after `pluto`
stops. But I haven't submitted any changes to the test scripts in case
it causes issues elsewhere. And so, *how should we proceed here?*
While a number of audit messages are covered by the existing policy,
there were a couple of rules that were missing. I have rectified this:

The issue wasn't FIPS related per se but tended to manifest more
easily
with FIPS enabled:
https://github.com/libreswan/libreswan/issues/441
<https://github.com/libreswan/libreswan/issues/441>
My hypothesis for why I observed this behavior with FIPS enabled is
because enabling it triggers more chrony traffic which was not
permitted, i.e. pluto's SELinux domain did not have `setcontext`
permission against `chronyc_t`. But I don't have a way to confirm
this.
