Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/arpwatch "read" access on usbmon1. Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by arpwatch. It is not expected that this access is required by arpwatch 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.

Opened a terminal window, did su - and then service arpwatch start
Miroslav, I changed the label of usbmon to usbmon_device_t in Rawhide. We need to make a similar change in F12.
