Proactive SELinux fixes from automatic collection of logs

Hi

There are many instances where SELinux policy causes AVC denials while running programs. Some of these are policy issues, some actual bugs in the program or security issues and others where the denial is rather harmless and can be ignored for all practical purposes.

It is sometimes tedious to go and file a bug report methodologically on all these denials in hope that we uncover and fix real policy issues. What would be better is for users to run in some opt-in program that automatically sends either the audit or messages log or both to central server and the SELinux developers proactively fix policy issues without the overhead of users filing bug reports.

I would gladly run a program and I would guess that many users would find this a much better and easier way to report issues. We could even tie this to a GUI and first boot in the installer. Kind of a smolt (http://smolt.fedoraproject.org/stats) for SELinux if you will. Comments?
