I kep receiving messages like this every now and then....I'm just 
wondering.....should I be concerned? Is there something I need to do to 
get these alerts and warnings to cease? Any help would be appreciated!

Thanx!

SELinux is preventing /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-hostnamed from open 
access on the file /sys/devices/virtual/dmi/id/chassis_type.

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

If you believe that systemd-hostnamed should be allowed open access on 
the chassis_type 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 systemd-hostnam /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp
