Yes, that fixed the problem.  I pointed yum to Steve's repo and
installed all the updates.  Now I get this context:

user_u:system_r:unconfined_t::admin1

Interesting that it has :: before admin1.  I assume that this tells us
that admin1 is defined as both a security level and a category.
Although this doesn't hold true for root:

root:system_r:unconfined_t:-SystemHigh

Why does root have -SystemHigh (why the dash)?  Turning off mcstrans
shows that it is s0-s0:c0.c1023, so how is that translated to -
SystemHigh, and why doesn't it have :: ?

Thanks,

Forrest
