Dan: A final report. After rebooting several times, and running smart many times, both of which used to produce many lines of the awstats/selinux messages, I think I can safely say that the problem has been solved. I wish I understood what your commands did, exactly - if you have a little time to respond to this, I would really appreciate a synopsis of your diagnosis and cure. I guess that somehow, two different policies were generated with regard to awstats, and that's what you were detecting with the matchpathcon command? Is that a fair understanding from my read of the man page? The semodule -B command was to force a rewrite of the policy, though I'm not sure to what end, as I read it... And somehow, you found and had me erase the multiple contexts?
