Description Panard 2006-01-24 05:30:48 UTC 
sec-policy/selinux-base-policy-20051022-r1

/usr/tmp is labeled as 'system_u:object_r:usr_t' instead of 'system_u:object_r:tmp_t'
The reason is in file_contexts/types.fc (line 366) :
/usr/tmp                -d      system_u:object_r:tmp_t

As /usr/tmp is a symbolic link, this rules doesn't match.
/usr/tmp                -l      system_u:object_r:tmp_t
seems ok to me.

usr_t is the correct type since it is a symlink.  the important thing is that the target is tmp_t.  if the target is not /tmp or /var/tmp, you will have to customize your policy.
