Can not access files in own home directory

[Daniel J Walsh]

setfiles takes the file_contexts file as the second parameter, if you 
look at fixfiles that is all that it is  doing is execing setfiles.

So with strict policy you would run

setfiles /etc/selinux/strict/contexts/files/file_contexts /home
to relabel homedirs.

After running fixfiles relabel you should always reboot in order to 
start programs under the right context,  If you do this in level 5 there 
is a chance the applications will write files out with bad context after 
the relabel, before the reboot.
