I ran rpm -qa | grep -i tpm and got nothing.

# /usr/sbin/tcsd -f
TCSD TDDL ERROR: Could not find a device to open!

The kernel I am running is the vanilla fedora 16 release 
kernel-3.3.4-3.fc16.i686.
So, I turned tcsd  off.
Is this service enabled by default even though the machine has no tpm 
device?

Thanx for the heads up.
