Selinux message F-12 -

I keep seeing a star icon in the F-12 box which produces the message 
below. I wonder if it has anything to do with my ssh problems?

What does it mean? What must I do to satisfy it?

Summary:

SELinux is preventing /usr/libexec/polkit-1/polkit-agent-helper-1
"sys_tty_config" access.

Detailed Description:

[polkit-agent-he has a permissive type (policykit_auth_t). This access 
was not
denied.]

SELinux denied access requested by polkit-agent-he. It is not expected 
that this
access is required by polkit-agent-he 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) Please file a bug
report.
