What should we NOT do because of SELinux?

Perhaps a stupid question but still I'm uncertain...

I'm getting "avc:  denied" messages for all 6 mingetty invocations before 
login, though the system works fine afterward. I think these may have been 
triggered by an attempt I made to start the program that drives my braille 
display (brltty). Up to now I've been able to start this from 
/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit by invoking brltty after rc.sysinit was reinvoked under 
initlog. Not seeing anything about initlog near the beginning of FC5's 
rc.sysinit I stuck in the command anyway. It didn't work and I removed it, 
ultimately putting it in rc.local instead. But even though I removed 
rc.sysinit~ so the directory should look normal, perhaps except for the last 
change date on rc.sysinit, I still get all these "avc:  denied" messages.

Did I cause this by messing with rc.sysinit? As I continue to go through the 
SELinux FAQ will I find out what to do to dispense with this - artwork? :-)

Many thanks,
