Description João M. S. Silva 2011-11-09 20:26:44 UTC 
Description of problem:

When I install Fedora 15 and 16 using an existing home directory, although anaconda changes ownership correctly it probably does not update selinux labels (?) because when I log in graphically as normal user I am sent to the / directory. I had to select selinux relabeling after reboot (GUI option).

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

anaconda for Fedora 16 (and 15)

How reproducible:

Installing Fedora 16 with existing /home partition.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Have /home partition with user directories
2. Install Fedora 16
3. During install create existing /home users
  
Actual results:

Can not login graphically

Expected results:

automatic relabeling
