Bug 476928

Description of problem:
Installing the updates recommended by the standard software update utility in FC9 (Gnome) reported an SELinux problem. The setroubleshoot browser popped up with the following report:
----------------------------------

Summary:

SELinux is preventing rpcbind (rpcbind_t) "setgid" rpcbind_t.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by rpcbind. It is not expected that this access
is required by rpcbind 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 FAQ
(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 bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi)
against this package.

----------------------------------

I reported this as soon as it happened so don't know if it has affected the system operation.
