SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/certwatch from 'getattr' accesses on the file /etc/localtime.

*****  Plugin restorecon (99.5 confidence) suggests  *************************

If you want to fix the label. 
/etc/localtime default label should be locale_t.
Then you can run restorecon.
Do
# /sbin/restorecon -v /etc/localtime

*****  Plugin catchall (1.49 confidence) suggests  ***************************

If you believe that certwatch should be allowed getattr access on the localtime 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 certwatch /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

Comment 1 Miroslav Grepl 2011-03-29 11:36:04 UTC
Jardo,
the question "Do you use KDE?" is probably silly in your case. 

Run restorecon 

# restorecon -v /etc/localtime

and please update to the latest policy. This policy has support for kcmdatetimehelper which causes this.
