Two more answers, just for the archives:

"restorecon filename" will restore the security contexts on an
individual file (rather than doing it systemwide or packagewide as
fixfiles does).

"touch /.autorelabel" will cause fixfiles relabel to be run at the
next reboot.  I'm not sure if or how that's better than running
fixfiles yourself.
