mcelog.service

Hi, is the mcelog.service of any use to me? There's a package mcelog-1.0-0.6.6e4e2a00.fc18.x86_64 installed and listed as a leave by package-cleanup, the service is running; /var/log/mce doesn't exist (which is probably good). In which way would it help me to log such errors if there were any?

Hi all! I've been running F19 (alpha and now beta) on my Acer Aspire One D255E netbook for a few weeks now. just today when I booted up I got this alert I've not gotten before. I know how to teach selinux not to alert for that, but I don't know if it's an action that SHOULD be allowed or not.
