Summary: SELinux is preventing /bin/ps "read" access on stat. Detailed Description: [SELinux is in permissive mode. This access was not denied.] SELinux denied access requested by ps. It is not expected that this access is required by ps 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.

I just woke the system up from hibernation and pulled up >system > admin > services and got the security alert -- a total of about 35 of them, all identical and all at the same time! I had the same alert happen on Feb. 27, but since F13 wasn't alpha then I didn't submit it and I'm not exactly sure what I did that triggered it then.
