The only thing worse than a poorly asked question is a cryptic answer.
OK, first off, I'm the OP.
I suppose I should be flattered at being addressed as if I were an Alpha Plus Technoid; but I'm not one. I'm just an old twice-retired bookworm, running Fedora because there's more and better help online for it than for anything else I've tried (most of the well-known distros), and because I began back in '98 with RedHat. I can't imagine anything I have being of interest to an intruder.
Your right. They probably aren't interested in what you have. They might be interested in taking over your machine as part of a botnet though. A large amount of attacks are now automated against wide ranges of devices
All the replies in this thread so far have been way over my head. The one thing I gather some of you want is the error message from SEL, verbatim. I don't have it; I presume it's in some log somewhere, but I have no idea how to find that log.
Try sealert -a /var/log/audit/audit.log
Or
grep setroubleshoot /var/log/messages
There will have been a full report in the graphical tool that initially warned you but these should give the same result.
