SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/semodule (semanage_t) "getattr" to / (security_t).

[Antonio Olivares]

Dear list(s),

currently running Rawhide and setroubleshoot browser
fires up with a denial

Summary
    SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/semodule
(semanage_t) "getattr" to /
    (security_t).

Detailed Description
    SELinux denied access requested by
/usr/sbin/semodule. It is not expected
    that this access is required by /usr/sbin/semodule
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

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385
Or you can disable
    SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux
protection is not
    recommended. Please file a
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi
    against this package.

Summary
    SELinux is preventing /usr/sbin/useradd
(useradd_t) "read write" to faillog
    (var_log_t).

Detailed Description
    SELinux denied access requested by
/usr/sbin/useradd. It is not expected
    that this access is required by /usr/sbin/useradd
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
    Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux
denials.  You could try to
    restore the default system file context for
faillog, restorecon -v faillog
    If this does not work, there is currently no
automatic way to allow this
    access. Instead,  you can generate a local policy
module to allow this
    access - see
http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385
Or you
    can disable SELinux protection altogether.
Disabling SELinux protection is
    not recommended. Please file a
