>Summary
>    SELinux is preventing /sbin/iptables (iptables_t) "read" to /var/log/secure
>    (var_log_t).
>
>Detailed Description
>    SELinux denied access requested by /sbin/iptables. It is not expected that
>    this access is required by /sbin/iptables 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 /var/log/secure, restorecon -v
>    /var/log/secure 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.
