su permission failure

Hello,

After a fresh installation of Fedora Core II on initial boot I get
Permission denied changing to the /root directory running su -l but I
can change to the directory afterwards:

[bhills at unixtop workarea]$ su -l
Password:
su: warning: cannot change directory to /root: Permission denied
[root at unixtop workarea]# cd /root
[root at unixtop root]#

I assume this is SELinux related but I'm unsure if its a 'problem'?

Brent Hills.
