Description of problem: After booting F16 Alpha XFCE Live Media (from USB), I get the following in dmesg: [ 26.527514] systemd-tmpfiles[953]: Successfully loaded SELinux database in 23ms 442us, size on heap is 464K.

Igor, any selinux AVCs in the logs when this happens? Dan, do you have an idea what might be wrong here? This is our own label_mkdir() which internall invokes setfscreatecon() followed by mkdir(). The setfscreatcon() fails with EPERM/EACCES.
Hmm, probably a duplicate of bug 733086
I think so. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 733086 ***
