Worrying AVC messages

I'm seeing a lot of AVC message, a sample of which is
type=AVC msg=audit(1162463326.809:49): avc: denied { search } for pid=4186
comm="postmap" name="nscd" dev=hdb1 ino=195773
type=AVC msg=audit(1162483288.034:31): avc: denied { write } for pid=5804
comm="ip" name="[23145]" dev=pipefs ino=23145
type=AVC msg=audit(1162483738.762:39): avc: denied { write } for pid=7191
comm="ip" name="[27659]" dev=pipefs ino=27659
type=AVC msg=audit(1169284673.188:58): avc: denied { ioctl } for pid=4212
comm="smartd" name="hda" dev=tmpfs ino=879
type=AVC msg=audit(1162495544.436:62): avc: denied { write } for pid=28024
comm="setfiles" name="[120832]" dev=pipefs ino=120832
type=AVC_PATH msg=audit(1169310171.523:150): path="/dev/bus/usb/001/004"
type=AVC msg=audit(1169310172.778:151): avc: denied { read } for pid=2996
comm="hald-addon-stor" name="hdd" dev=tmpfs ino=7431
I don't really understand what is going on. 'postmap' to me implies postfix,
which seems odd.
There are many such messages about smartd. This is something I'd want to be
working. Why is this blocked? Can/Should I enable it? How?
I looked at /dev/bus/usb/001/004 but I can't tell what this is. I'm guessing
that it's a card-reader, but it's sheer guesswork.
I'd be glad of any hints. SELinux hasn't really caused me any problems up to
now, but one of my projects, which I'll address in a later thread, may be
being blocked, so I need to start to understand more.
Thanks
Anne
