udev strange-ness

Why is bash accessing iptables, and arping on behalf of udev?

I expect that the dhclient-eth0.conf file is just from an inherited file 
handle (although I don't know why it was opened, I don't have dhclient 
installed any more, maybe a bug in hotplug).

audit(1093243252.247:0): avc:  denied  { getattr } for  pid=2193 exe=/bin/bash 
path=/sbin/iptables dev=dm-0 ino=196433 scontext=system_u:system_r:udev_t
