My logs are reporting many errors, one which appears here:

(logwatch_t) "read" to sagator (var_log_t). For complete SELinux

Summary:

SELinux is preventing 0logwatch (logwatch_t) "read" to sagator (var_log_t).

Detailed Description:

SELinux denied access requested by 0logwatch. It is not expected that this
access is required by 0logwatch 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 sagator,

restorecon -v 'sagator'

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.
