Bug 507449

Description of problem:
I would have reported this against fprintd but that doesn't appear to exist in the RHEL6 package listing yet (in Bugzilla) so reporting against selinux-policy.  Getting the following:

Summary:

SELinux is preventing fprintd (fprintd_t) "read" proc_t.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by fprintd. It is not expected that this access
is required by fprintd 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.
