This box was upgraded from F15, so what do I need do about these avcs' and why they don't show up in sealert.

Currently selinux-policy-targeted-3.10.0-51.fc16

there seems to be an upgrade available: selinux-policy-targeted-3.10.0-55.fc16

will it make any difference to above?

It's almost never a bad idea to update to the latest packages, but I don't think it will "fix" this issue.

These are just old entries in /var/log/audit/audit.log. You can safely ignore them or just move the old log files off somewhere else. If *new* alerts come up, then take appropriate action.

Make sense?
