When I run `cobbler check` I get these complaints:

The following potential problems were detected:
#0: you need to set some SELinux content rules to ensure cobbler works
correctly in your SELinux environment, run the following:
/usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a -t public_content_t "/tftpboot/.*"
#1: since iptables may be running, ensure 69, 80, and 25151 are unblocked
#2: fencing tools were not found, and are required to use the (optional)
power management features. install cman to use them
I've tried several times to adjust the file context for tftpboot and get
this answer back from semanage:
[root@deafeng3 cobbler]# /usr/sbin/semanage fcontext -a -t
public_content_t "/tftpboot/.*"
/usr/sbin/semanage: File context for /tftpboot/.* already defined
Any advice appreciated. I need to install Fedora 11 on two (2) Toshiba
Satellite 1905-S301 laptops, on brand new hard drives, and this seems a
good chance to have Cobbler do it for me.
I believe you're getting that message only because it detects you have
selinux enabled, not that it is required to fix something, just like it's
telling you to be sure you have the correct ports open in iptables because
it detects that it is running as well.
If you have no problems kickstarting, you can ignore that message. If you
do have problems, let us know.
