Bug 653047

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1 "write" access
on log.

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by polkit-agent-he. It is not expected that this
access is required by polkit-agent-he 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.
