Bug 524483

The following was filed automatically by setroubleshoot:

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/lib64/vte/gnome-pty-helper "search" access on
/var/log/wtmpx.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by gnome-pty-helpe. It is not expected that this
access is required by gnome-pty-helpe 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) Please file a bug
report.
