>Summary
>    SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/updatedb (locate_t) "getattr" to
>    /var/gdm/.gdmfifo (xserver_log_t).
>
>Detailed Description
>    SELinux denied access requested by /usr/bin/updatedb. It is not expected
>    that this access is required by /usr/bin/updatedb 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
>    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.
