Karl,

When you turned on SELinux the AVC's were being logged to
/var/log/audit/audit.log  This is where setroubleshoot and other tools
grab the AVC messages.

When you go from disable to enabled, the entire system needs to be
relabeled.  This can take a long time to happen since the entire file
system is walked.   After relabeling your system should work properly.

I would make sure that you have updated to the latest policy for Fedora
7, and if you are running something like NIS you might need to turn on
certain selinux booleans.

setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1

Which will allow your system to use NIS.

The  bugs/avc's you reported earlier do not look like SELinux was going
nuts.

It is also feasable that you are running a file system reiser?  that
SElinux does not support.  Or there is some problem that adding of file
context to your machine triggered.

I have not heard of SELinux in permissive mode causing the types of
problems that you say occured on your machine.
