I applied the audit2allow. The start of cobblerd now fails with:
root@fiat Desktop]# service cobblerd start

This is a known issue involving python ctypes and selinux (we were just talking about this

issue for you, though it would be good to create a BZ to have the Red Hat guys fix this
policy-wise upstream.
