Description Jann Horn 2011-11-12 14:47:34 UTC 
SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/gdm-session-worker from 'read' accesses on the file utmp.

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

If you believe that gdm-session-worker should be allowed read access on the utmp 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 gdm-session-wor /var/log/audit/audit.log | audit2allow -M mypol
# semodule -i mypol.pp

/var/run/utmp is mislabeled. Not sure how got this mislabeling.

# restorecon -R -v /var/run/utmp
