Description Dario Castellarin 2011-10-17 17:46:40 UTC
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon from 'read' accesses on the file /var/log/wtmp.

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

If you believe that accounts-daemon should be allowed read access on the wtmp 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 accounts-daemon /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
