you shouldn't have to relabel a filesystem unless you had turned SELinux
off for a while. So that shouldn't be necessary again.
I also gathered that the RHEL 5.3 release has a bunch of the newer tools
from virtually current Fedora like SETroubleShooter which should make
life a lot easier.
I gather that CentOS 5.3 will be released in the next week or so and I
would probably wait until you have it running fine for a week or two in
permissive mode and have squashed any alerts and you should be good to
move to enforcing.
