Uninstall setroubleshoot-plugins Package

An XCCDF Rule

Description

The SETroubleshoot plugins are used to analyze SELinux AVC data. The service provides information around configuration errors, unauthorized intrusions, and other potential errors. The setroubleshoot-plugins package can be removed with the following command: 
$ sudo yum erase setroubleshoot-plugins

Rationale

The SETroubleshoot service is an unnecessary daemon to have running on a server.
