:SELinux is preventing /usr/bin/mailx from 'append' accesses on the file /var/lib/rkhunter/rkhcronlog.fkv5qCW9gZ.
:
:*****  Plugin restorecon (93.9 confidence) suggests  *************************
:
:If you want to fix the label. 
:/var/lib/rkhunter/rkhcronlog.fkv5qCW9gZ default label should be var_lib_t.
:Then you can run restorecon.
:Do
:# /sbin/restorecon -v /var/lib/rkhunter/rkhcronlog.fkv5qCW9gZ
:
:*****  Plugin leaks (6.10 confidence) suggests  ******************************
:
:If you want to ignore mailx trying to append access the rkhcronlog.fkv5qCW9gZ file, because you believe it should not need this access.
:Then you should report this as a bug.  
:You can generate a local policy module to dontaudit this access.
:Do
:# grep /usr/bin/mailx /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -D -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp
:
:*****  Plugin catchall (1.43 confidence) suggests  ***************************
:
:If you believe that mailx should be allowed append access on the rkhcronlog.fkv5qCW9gZ 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 mail /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
:# semodule -i mypol.pp
