Thanks Bill, that worked - at least for consoletype_t and some other
types - I am using an amd64 system and have the same problem with
symlinks (the labellers seem to have problems with them... replace /lib
with /lib(64)? in file_contexts).

Unfortunately, I am still facing some error messages in which case the
file type is correct:

vmdefault # dmesg | grep avc               

audit(1191161059.993:4): avc:  denied  { read } for  pid=16909
comm="mount" name="urandom" dev=tmpfs ino=2443
scontext=system_u:system_r:mount_t
tcontext=system_u:object_r:urandom_device_t tclass=chr_file

When trying to write a policy_module

vmdefault # files_manage_urandom_seed(mount_t)

the compile error stops me again:

Compiling strict local module
/usr/bin/checkmodule:  loading policy configuration from tmp/local.tmp
local.te:11:ERROR 'unknown type mount_t' at token ';' on line 78190:
        allow mount_t var_t:dir { getattr search };
#line 11
/usr/bin/checkmodule:  error(s) encountered while parsing configuration
make: *** [tmp/local.mod] Error 1

Also I don't manage to install the base policy from the Tresys guys (I
think they have more types compiled in??)

vmdefault # make
vmdefault # semodule -v -b policy.21

Attempting to install base module 'policy.21':
libsepol.module_package_read_offsets: wrong magic number for module
package:  expected 4185718671, got 4185718668
libsemanage.parse_base_headers: Could not parse base module data.
semodule:  Failed on policy.21!

How to change the magic number?
Do you have some input for me?
