>Summary
>    SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/groupadd (groupadd_t) "write" to /dev/null
>    (var_lib_t).
>
>Detailed Description
>    SELinux denied access requested by /usr/sbin/groupadd. It is not expected
>    that this access is required by /usr/sbin/groupadd 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 /dev/null, restorecon -v
>    /dev/null 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.
