audit ... denied messages

I just installed all the SELinux stuff on a Slackware 10 box using a
2.6.7 kernel.  I tried going about it myself, but wasn't making good
progress and then found some packages from http://www.diyab.net/selinux/
and installed those.

When I first booted with SELinux=1, I saw a bunch of audit <...> denied
<...> <program> <context> messages during my init and such.

Everything "seemed" to still be working, as far as my system went, so I
tried logging in, and it worked.  When I did a make relabel, it seemed
to work, but when I later checked dmesg for something, I had several
screens (at approx 132x60) full of these audit ... denied messages, all
in relation to relabeling.

So my questions have a few aspects to them.  Namely, do I need to be
concerned about these messages, and what can I do to make them go away?
~ I don't really know what I'm doing here and am probably not as read up
as I should be, but I suspect, and am hoping, that this is just due to
the way my policiy is set up and will be easy to correct.

I'd appreciate any help, and I'll be going through the docs that I do
have while waiting for a response from here.  FWIW, pointers to (more)
docs that address this would be more appreciated than just "do this,
that and the other", but I'll take what I can get, and will appreciate it.

Thanks.
