The most recent yum update changed, and I have no clue what this is. Obtained from the system logs.
I get: sealert -l 3f210834-3d3f-4247-a909-cd1219519138 ========================================== Summary:
SELinux is preventing pidof (hotplug_t) "ptrace" to <Unknown> (hotplug_t).
Detailed Description:
SELinux denied access requested by pidof. It is not expected that this access is required by pidof and this access may signal an intrusion attempt. It is also possible that the specific version or configuration of the application is causing it to require additional access.
Allowing Access:
You can generate a local policy module to allow this access - see FAQ (http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc5/#id2961385) Or you can disable SELinux protection altogether. Disabling SELinux protection is not recommended. Please file a bug report (http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/enter_bug.cgi) against this package.

Please disreard this message. I think it was due to an unplugged Ethernet cable. Dan
