Trying to set context on a FIFO for nut_upsmon_t process

[Robert Nichols]

SELinux is not allowing me to set the needed context on a FIFO that will be written by a nut_upsmon_t process. Runnin sesearch to find suitable types yields:
   allow nut_upsmon_t nut_upsmon_t:fifo_file { append getattr ioctl lock open read write };
But, when I try to run "chcon -t nut_upsmon_t /path/to/fifo" I get "permission denied" and an SELinux alert than complains
   If you want to change the label of .alertFIFO2 to nut_upsmon_t, you are not allowed to since it is not a valid file type.
   Then you must pick a valid file label.
   Do
   select a valid file type.  List valid file labels by executing: 
   # seinfo -afile_type -x
That returns info for files, not FIFOs.

Once again, SELinux is causing me more problems than any virus would.
