Thanks Dan - Nope no selinux logs on this one best I can tell. If I
run as user I get:

$ needs-restarting
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/needs-restarting", line 137, in <module>
    sys.exit(main(sys.argv))
  File "/usr/bin/needs-restarting", line 117, in main
    for fn in get_open_files(pid):
  File "/usr/bin/needs-restarting", line 84, in get_open_files
    for line in maps.readlines():
IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied

Its odd - line 117 in needs-restarting is this fragment:

for pid in return_running_pids(uid=myuid):
        try:
            pid_start = os.stat('/proc/' + pid)[stat.ST_CTIME]
        except OSError, e:
            continue
        found_match = False
        for fn in get_open_files(pid):

Works fine as root.
