Weird, I did "setenforce 0", it didn't work.  Logged out and back in,
did it again, and it worked.  I don't really understand selinux because
I admit I haven't taken the time to learn about it.  Honestly though, I
don't see any value for it in my work environment right now, so it could
be a while before I have the time to look into it.

The next question I have is, why is this the only box that seems to have
it enabled?  I've loaded many Core 2 boxes these last few months, and
not had this problem before.  Hm, this one is the only one that was an
upgrade from C1, instead of a fresh reload, I wonder if that is a
factor.

Thanks for the help.

Dan.
