selinux and ppp

I wiped my FC2T2 install and did a reinstall.  I then upgraded to kernel 
2.6.5-1.308 and policy 1-10.2-4.  ppp worked in enforcing mode.  I then 
installed the 150+ updates and then ppp stopped working.  I am getting the 
following selinux messages:  I did a fixfiles restore and fixfiles relabel, 
but that did not help.  Any suggestions?

I am also getting the following when cups starts during boot:

Apr 10 15:30:46 excalibur kernel: audit(1081629043.710:0): avc:  denied  { 
write } for  pid=2580 exe=/usr/bin/python name=util dev=sdb2 ino=909470

scontext=system_u:system_r:cupsd_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:usr_t 
tclass=dir

I am not sure but the two might be related because they both have dev=sdb2 
in the messages.
