Executable types in .fc files should be marked with --. It makes setfiles run faster and also avoids bad policy being written when the executable gets replaced with a symlink or something else strange happens.

Labelling a binary in /usr/sbin as bin_t makes no sense.

I don't think that there's any need for so many domains.

Also tripwire domains probably don't make any sense. If you are serious about tripwire then you should boot from removable media to run it. Anyone who can crack a SE Linux system can surely sort out the tripwire database.
