Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

A machine installed as FC3 got its update from up2date yesterday
and now will no longer allow logins on the console, nor the X console, and will no longer allow the sudoers to sudo.
Touching /.autorelabel and rebooting has not fixed the problem.

The sudo problem only leaves this message to the console:

root:system_r:unconfined_t is not a valid context

And this in the logs:

Mar 29 18:19:55 HOST sudo: omri : TTY=pts/0 ; PWD=/nfs/newline/h1/omri ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/bin/su root

The attempt to log to the X console leaves this in the logs:

Mar 29 18:36:22 HOST gdm-binary[5538]: pam_krb5[5538]: authentication succeeds
for 'omri' (omri@KRB5REALM)
Mar 29 18:36:22 HOST gdm(pam_unix)[5538]: session opened for user omri by (uid=0) Mar 29 18:36:22 HOST gdm[5135]: gdm_cleanup_children: child 5538 crashed of signal 6 Mar 29 18:36:22 HOST gdm[5135]: gdm_cleanup_children: Slave crashed, killing its children

Logging in as root leaves what might be slightly more useful:

Mar 29 18:43:56 HOST gdm(pam_unix)[6206]: session opened for user root by (uid=0)
Mar 29 18:43:56 HOST dbus-daemon-1: avc:  could not determine enforcing mode

Meanwhile, I can SSH in and su to root without a problem.

I am very much an SELinux newbie, and was hoping to learn about this system by installing the targeted policy and seeing it in action, but here I am mystified.
None of the messages are enough for me to figure out what needs chcon'ing.

So I would be much obliged for any help you could offer.

I am not sure this is an SELinux problem.  Did you try to boot with

enforcing=0 on the command line?
