Bug 671217

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /bin/sed "create" access on sedbREW6n.

Detailed Description:

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

#============= user_t ==============
#!!!! This avc is a constraint violation.  You will need to add an attribute to either the source or target type to make it work.
