Full Discussion: SE Linux write permission denied
Operating Systems Linux Red Hat SE Linux write permission denied Post 302957559 by Aia on Tuesday 13th of October 2015 12:11:56 AM

That . (dot) at the end of the display of the discretionary access control (DAC) permissions means that the file has SELinux security context.
You may display the mandatory access control (MAC) permissions of SELinux by using the -Z (capital Z) as in ls -Z

The issue you are experiencing is due to the label context of application ip with SELinux security label context of ifconfig_t trying to write to files /var/VRTSvcs/log/tmp/IPMultiNIC-* with SELinux security label context of var_t. This is exactly what SELinux is supposed to do; deny access to mismatched targets. You might need to investigate a bit about SELinux if you what to fix it.

matchpathcon

matchpathcon(8) 					SELinux Command Line documentation					   matchpathcon(8)

NAME

       matchpathcon - get the default SELinux security context for the specified path from the file contexts configuration.

SYNOPSIS

       matchpathcon [-V] [-N] [-n] [-f file_contexts_file ] [-p prefix ] filepath...

DESCRIPTION

       matchpathcon queries the system policy and outputs the default security context associated with the filepath.

       Note: Identical paths can have different security contexts, depending on the file type. (regular file, directory, link file, char file ...)

       matchpathcon  will  also take the file type into consideration in determining the default security context if the file exists.  If the file
       does not exist, no file type matching will occur.

OPTIONS

       -n Do not display path.

       -N Do not use translations.

       -f file_context_file Use alternate file_context file

       -p prefix Use prefix to speed translations

       -V Verify file context on disk matches defaults
