I also got these type of messages.  I just did a yum update from  
5.2.  Output from audit2allow are as follows:

allow useradd_t rpm_t:tcp_socket { read write };
allow useradd_t rpm_var_lib_t:file { read write };
allow useradd_t var_lib_t:file write;
allow useradd_t var_t:file read;

I have similar messages for auditctl_t, cupsd_t, groupadd_t, rdisc_t,  
restorecon_t, restorecond_t, semanage_t and setrans_t.  It looks like  
they only happened during the upgrade and haven't gotten any every  
since.  Just wondering too if these messages are normal (everything  
is working flawlessly) and if there's anything I should've done to  
ensure the upgrade is complete.

Thank you.
