NM I answered my own question. I forgot to kill/turnoff SElinux. So all my permission issues and other things of that sort were probably stemmed from that. I usually have it off anyway but forgot to turn it off after the fresh install.

I'm getting a variety of access forbidden and permission denied error messages after I ran yum -y update. I did a full upgrade of all packages available then ran yum clean all After which I have had nothing but problems with permissions rights and installing packages after the update that point right to permission issues I remember that I read in a forum that there is a command or a string of commands that will reset all permissions globally back to the owners. I believe by GID and UID. But unfortunately I didn't save the link nor document the fix because I can't find that site again. Anyone have any idea how I can fix these annoying and continuing permission issues? I didn't have any permission issues before the yum update only after. And each package I have installed after has had nothing but problems as well all concerning permissions and rights.
