Cobbler check used to tell you all you needed on EL 5, from recent checking it appears to be good enough for all but maybe the webui on EL 6.  The instructions on F 15 and 16 however appear to be quite different though so we need to figure out if that is just a doc item and we make "check" stop looking at SELinux and if enabled just pointing people at the Wiki page w commands to fix each distro.
