This is exactly what setroubleshoot *does*. I agree it'd be nice for
them just to be one app with a decent interface, but we work with what
we've got, not with wishes...
I don't see any UI in SELinux Troubleshooter to file a bug report. The
Notify Admin button presents two options: Unix Mailspool (Movemail)
and Newgroup account. Both of those sound Mesozoic, but as they have
no meaning to me I could be wrong about their era.
