Bug 618033

The new version of syslog-ng (bug#598961) is having these errors show up in the applet:


Summary:

SELinux is preventing /sbin/syslog-ng "create" access on syslog-ng.ctl.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by syslog-ng. It is not expected that this
access is required by syslog-ng 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://docs.fedoraproject.org/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Please file a bug
report.
