[CentOS] Trying to understand SELinux MSG

Hello,

I received the below SELinux message today and I am trying to figure out what 
caused it.  I see what it says under Allow Access but I am not sure this is 
what I really want to do without know why it happened in the first place.

What should I be looking at to understand what or why this has happened?

Any help I would be most grateful for.



Here is the output form SELinux


SUMMARY:
SELinux is preventing access to files with the label, file_t.

Detailed Description:
SELinux permission checks on files labeled file_t are being denied. file_t is 
the context the SELinux kernel gives to files that do not have a label. This 
indicates a serious labeling problem. No files on an SELinux box should ever 
be labeled file_t. If you have just added a new disk drive to the system you 
can relabel it using the restorecon command. Otherwise you should relabel the 
entire files system. 

Allowing Access:
You can execute the following command as root to relabel your computer 
system: "touch /.autorelabel; reboot"
