Summary: SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/dnstop "create" access . Detailed Description: SELinux denied access requested by dnstop. It is not expected that this access is required by dnstop 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.

What is dnstop doing?
dnstop — displays various tables of DNS traffic on your network Also if you run this command as an ordinary user you get pcap_open_*: refused: You don't have permission to capture on that device (socket: Operation not permitted) I am closing this bug as WONTFIX.
