>Summary
>    SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/useradd (useradd_t) "read write" to faillog
>    (var_log_t).
>
>Detailed Description
>    SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/useradd. It is not expected
>    that this access is required by /usr/sbin/useradd and this access may signal
>    an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or
>    configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access.
>
>Allowing Access
>    Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials.  You could try to
>    restore the default system file context for faillog, restorecon -v faillog
>    If this does not work, there is currently no automatic way to allow this
>    access. Instead,  you can generate a local policy module to allow this
>    access - see http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385 Or you
>    can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is
>    not recommended. Please file a
>    http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi against this package.
