I discovered the problem.  The /usr/bin/system-config-securitylevel
is the command-level program (which is what I was using) and this
is NOT the same as the one suppled via the Gnome-Menu of
Desktop->System Settings->Security Level as this was the
GUI for which the SElinux tab does appear.  Duh-O

Anyway, in any case, I have disabled SElinux protections
for httpd and Samba.  Both was too difficult to determine
as the httpd had something to do with the
<VirtualHost _default_:8090> for FrontPage and I could
not figure it out, and as for Samba, I could get the shares
to work, except that the contents refused to appear - very
wierd and non of the combinations I tried worked.  Nevertheless
the rest of the system is running under SElinux.

Thanks for the leads.
