To control SELinux go to: System|Administration|SELinux Management from the menu bar. On the SELinux management screen "Current Enforcing Mode" will show the current mode, which is one of Disabled, Permissive or Enforcing. The default mode is Enforcing, which may be what is causing your troubles. Change "System Default Enforcing Mode" to change the effect SELinux has on your system. "Disabled" does what it says on the tin and "Permissive" generates the violation messages you'd see in "Enforcing" mode but doesn't stop the program from doing whatever caused the violation. If you're a normal user and have a firewall in place (any type will do) SELinux doesn't offer you much apart from a pain in the bum if yoyu riun anything except its selected list of servers, so set its default mode to "Disabled". Thats the first thing I do after a fresh install. Martin
