The following operation:
  [root at masu ~]# ls -Z bbb
  -rw-r--r--  root root unconfined_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0 bbb
  [root at masu ~]# id -Z
  unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c31
  [root at masu ~]# chcon -l s0:c0 bbb
  chcon: failed to change context of `bbb' to `unconfined_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0:c0': Operation not permitted

got the following audit message:
 type=SELINUX_ERR msg=audit(1232984840.945:48):
   security_validate_transition:  denied for
   oldcontext=unconfined_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0

   taskcontext=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c31
   tclass=file

   subj=unconfined_u:unconfined_r:unconfined_t:s0-s0:c0.c31 key=(null)

strace chcon -l s0:c0 bbb also says -EPERM.
     :
  setxattr("bbb", "security.selinux", "unconfined_u:object_r:admin_home_t:s0:c0", 41, 0) = -1 EPERM (Operation not permitted)
     :

Is the selinux-policy-3.6.3-8.fc11.noarch really built with mcs policy?
