I have done a little research. This seems to be a widespread problem. It appears on redhat lists and centos lists and bugzilla. The most useful thing I found is https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-selinux-list/2005- October/msg00114.html Following the suggestions there I downloaded policycoreutils-1.18.1-4.9.i386.rpm and selinux-policy-targeted-1.17.30-2.120.noarch.rpm from ftp://people.redhat.com/dwalsh/SELinux/RHEL4/u3/ This seems to have fixed the problem. However, I note that the SL team have made some modifications to selinux-policy-targeted which, of course, won't be in this version. I don't think these changes are relevant for me, but YMMV.
