Thanks for the suggestion.
This system was installed over the past weekend and updated to the 
(then) latest strict policy. "fixfiles relabel" was  run then to allow 
going to enforcing mode. "yum update" updated the policy today. I am 
wondering if "fixfiles relabel" will be necessary every time policy is 
updated?
