Actually semanage login -a would need to run genhomedircon
semanage login - Needs genhomedircon
semanage user needs genhomedircon, rebuild policy
semanage port, interface needs rebuild policy
semodule needs rebuild policy and genhomedircon
semanage fcontext needs genhomedircon, or maybe nothing.
setsebool either needs nothing or rebuild policy.
