OMG...don't even get me started on that thing.  Over the years I've
come to believe that the sole purpose of selinux is to make you feel
guilty that you "should" be running it but can't because it
mysteriously breaks stuff in a way that can only be fixed by someone
with a PHD in selinux :D.  One of my first experiences with it many
years ago was when for no reason (with a perfectly configured apache)
it would only allow php scripts to run in the root or the web server
but NOT in any sub-directories.  From what I recall (though I try not
to) debugging it will about make you run into the distance crying for
a sendmail.cf file to play with...
