James,

Please help with details. I just converted back from Ubuntu, so have 
been away for awhile. What selinux contexts would need to be restored? 
And how does one run in permissive mode? I have not been careful to 
restore the rw permissions on the passwd/group etc. files. Does it check 
for that?

Thanks
