Hi Todd,

that means you are trying to save session.key into directory where SELinux is 
forbidding write access to named.
Session.key is file created once per start and removed before shutdown. I think 
you have something wrong with link /var/run/named -> /run/named link.
Default built-in value is /var/run/named/session.key. Default Fedora 
configuration uses /run/named/session.key. Both paths should work without 
difference.

Correct selinux type for files in /run/named is named_var_run_t. I think you 
should run instead:
$ restorecon -rv /run/named /var/run/named 

Then restart named service. Context of a new file should be already correct.

Do you have this option in you configuration file? What is its value?
# options { ...
session-keyfile "/run/named/session.key";

It would be helpful if you include you configuration in readable form, please.

Listed types are more likely types named is allowed to touch. I admit SELinux 
errors are often confusing. What you written here are hints to you how to solve 
the error, not the error itself.
More helpful errors would be printed by:
$ ausearch -i -ts today -m avc -m user_avc -m selinux_err

Regards,
Petr

Subject: Confused about SELinux error

Hi All,

What does this SELinux error mean when I start bin-chroot?

      # semanage fcontext -a -t FILE_TYPE 'session.key'

      where FILE_TYPE is one of the following: dnssec_trigger_var_run_t,
      ipa_var_lib_t, krb5_host_rcache_t, krb5_keytab_t, named_cache_t,
      named_log_t, named_tmp_t, named_var_run_t.

     # semanage fcontext -a -t named_var_run_t 'session.key'
     # restorecon -v 'session.key'


How am I suppose to know what "FILE_TYPE" they are talking about?

-T
