How to fix acv denied errors

Hi,

I am new to SELinux so I may have got this wrong but....


I am using a custom FC6 distribution that I built and installed using 
Kickstart. After installation I have two errors in the log file:


audit(1191322730.172:5): avc:  denied  { mounton } for  pid=1606 
comm="mount" name="log" dev=hda1 ino=1035266 
scontext=system_u:system_r:mount_t:s0 
tcontext=system_u:object_r:var_log_t:s0 tclass=dir

Oct  2 11:59: kernel: audit(1191322771.771:34): avc:  denied  { getattr 
} for  pid=1424 comm="rhgb" name=".X0-lock" dev=hda1 ino=485340 
scontext=system_u:system_r:rhgb_t:s0 tcontext=system_u:object_r:tmp_t:s0 
tclass=file



To take the second one, it seems that the .X0-lock needs to be allowed 
to run from the rhgb_t context. To fix this I have edited, 
/etc/selinux/targeted/src/contexts/files/file_contexts (I am running in 
targeted mode). I added the rhgb_t context to the /tmp.*.

Now it seems I have to run 'make load'. However there is no sign of a 
makefile anywhere (and this is true of my standard FC6 distro).

Where am I going wrong. TIA.
