Booting in strict/enforcing, 'Fedora' in the 'Welcome to Fedora Core'
message is no longer red, the subsequent 6 or so messages are formatted
differently (i.e., the '[OK]' is not nicely indented, and it is not in
green).
Also, rhgb doesn't start. (Yeah, I know, this is not a bug, its a
feature ;) )
Anyway, the following patch puts the red and green back in the boot.
The change mimics the privileges given for console_device_t:chr_file

The follow makes rhgb work in strict/enforcing. The problem
is that it wants to mount /etc/rhgb, but it is currently labeled
'etc_t'. Labeling /etc/rhgb as 'root_t' makes it work. Not sure
if this is really 'proper'. I'd be more comfortable with it being
labeled something like 'etc_rhgb_t' or some such, or moving
the mount point....
