Here's some Selinux messages from my system log just after a

In a different thread today, I'm reporting some smartd errors - I
wonder if there's any connection. I'm wondering what
those "dev=proc ino=########## etc..." mean. Can anyone make any
sense of this?
Also, during startup, I get:
This looks like dhcp is loading some iptables rules and it is not
allowed to do this, it is being denied by SELinux. Is this a common
setup or is this some customized.
You can boot in permissive mode and then use audit2allow -M local -i
/var/log/messages to create
a local policy to allow this to succeed. Follow the instructions from
audit2allow to install a local policy.
eth0 is not ready
touch: cannot touch "/var/lock/firestarter" : Permission denied
fatal error: your kernel does not support iptables
Firewall ### not started
rm: cannot remove "/var/lock/firestarter" : Permission denied
Moments later, Firestarter starts up seemingly normally, and when
I boot up to the desktop, eth0 is working just fine
Theories anyone?
