Description of problem:
On our Fedora 19 server, I have set up SVN repositories served through Apache, with mod_authnz_external + pwauth to handle authentication. When checking out a repository, the logs get flooded with "setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/pwauth from write access on the file /var/log/lastlog..." messages, which eventually get replaced by "audispd: queue is full - dropping event". The message itself does not appear to be critical, but is annoying, especially since it means that on our server VM, setroubleshoot keeps hogging CPU during repository checkouts.

This can be reproduced by setting up apache with mod_authnz_external + pwauth on any content it serves:
1. install pwauth, httpd, mod_authnz_external
2. set up some content to be served, and set up authentication. For example, create index.html in /var/www/html, and modify /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf:
<Directory "/var/www/html">
    Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
    AuthType Basic
    AuthName "PWauth test"
    AuthBasicProvider external
    AuthExternal pwauth
    Require valid-user
</Directory>
3. access the served content, log in with local username/password
=> a denial message pops up

NOTE: it seems pwauth requires both 'write' and 'open' access (i.e., if 'write' access is fixed with local policy, the messages about 'open' access start popping up)
SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/pwauth from 'write' accesses on the file lastlog.

*****  Plugin catchall (100. confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that pwauth should be allowed write access on the lastlog file by default.
Then you should report this as a bug.
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access.
Do
allow this access for now by executing:
# grep pwauth /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
