Unknown, 

what is happening with console-kit-daemon?

Summary:

SELinux is preventing
console-kit-dae(/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon)
(consolekit_t) "execute" to <Unknown>
(polkit_auth_exec_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by
console-kit-dae(/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon). It is
not expected that this
access is required by
console-kit-dae(/usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon) 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:

Sometimes labeling problems can cause SELinux denials.
You could try to restore
the default system file context for <Unknown>,

restorecon -v <Unknown>

If this does not work, there is currently no automatic
way to allow this access.
Instead, 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.
