Tom: Yes, disabling selinux removes the problem. I had looked at the selinux labeling and thought it looked OK, but apparently not. So some googling turns up this page: http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6-Beta/html/Security-Enhanced_Linux/sect-Security-Enhanced_Linux-Maintaining_SELinux_Labels_-Checking_the_Default_SELinux_Context.html which tells me EXACTLY how to fix it. To verify the problem: matchpathcon -V /home showed the incorrect context, and said what it should be (sorry, I didn't capture it and now it's gone--I think it was file_t, but should have been home_root_t.) then /sbin/restorecon -v /home sets it to the right value, after which rerunning the matchpathcon -V command shows it is correct. a quick reboot and ssh to the system and voila! Problem solved. Thanks, Tom, for pointing me in the right direction. Now, does anyone know if/how I can enable encryption on my disk partitions without havinig to use LVM?
