* What does this message mean?

Usually I can make some sense of SELinux' inscrutable gibberish
(I kid,
I kid), but this one is new to me. My guess would be a directory
access
of some kind--to what?

* Why am I running rpc.statd?

I thought that was for NFS, which I'm not using, although I do
have
nfs-utils installed for some reason.

Rpm tells me that nothing else requires nfs-utils, is there any
reason
not to simply remove it? Authconfig appears to want rpc.statd running
at
least. Maybe I don't need authconfig either.

Any clues appreciated.
