Even when selinux is purposely set to permissive? Which I just checked, it 
is permissive.

Humm, none of the selinux admin utils or troubleshooter's opening of a log 
file shows more than about a 40% progress bar before they freeze, so I've 
NDI how to go about using them as an actual troubleshooter.  I mean they 
have to show you a message of some sort, and they are not, all I see are 
blank screens.

Thanks Matt.
