[Samba] SELinux Issue: unix_dgram_socket

[Robert Buck]

The only unusual activity on the host that we see is that for some reason
the Red Hat network manager was going into a crash loop that this repeated
itself again and again for hours.

And the second thing that we notice is logstash was also going into a crash
loop and creating lots of io activity.

As a result of these syslog was being swamped with messages.
