My file contexts are:
[mike at lapmike2 mike]$ ls -Zd /opt/Local/home
drwxr-xr-x root root system_u:object_r:file_t:s0 /opt/Local/home
[mike at lapmike2 mike]$ ls -Zd /home
lrwxrwxrwx root root unconfined_u:object_r:root_t:s0 /home -> /opt/Local/home
[mike at lapmike2 mike]$ ls -Zd /home/mike
drwx------ mike mike system_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t:s0 /home/mike
[mike at lapmike2 mike]$ ls -Zd /opt/Local/home/mike
drwx------ mike mike system_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t:s0 /opt/Local/home/mike
[mike at lapmike2 mike]$ ls -Zd /home/mike/.bash_profile
-rw-r--r-- mike mike system_u:object_r:user_home_t:s0 /home/mike/.bash_profile

I am not sure what is appropriate here?

I notice from your post that my /opt/Local/home has a type file_t whereas
yours was home_root_t - maybe I need to change this?
The subdirectories seem the same as you quoted.

Yes this gives messages in /var/log/messages that selinux is preventing
access to files with label file_t - which suggests that your context was
right for /opt/Local/home and mine is wrong!
I will change that context and try again.
