Uninstall setroubleshoot Package

An XCCDF Rule

Description

The SETroubleshoot service notifies desktop users of SELinux denials. The service provides information around configuration errors, unauthorized intrusions, and other potential errors. The setroubleshoot package can be removed with the following command: 
$ sudo yum erase setroubleshoot

Rationale

The SETroubleshoot service is an unnecessary daemon to have running on a server, especially if X Windows is removed or disabled.
