Among the things in my checklist for new installs is completely
disabling the firewalls to start with (I am behind another firewall
with no open ports, so not a security problem), then after I have
everything mostly normal, copying the hand crafted firewall rules
from my previous install, so I never actually see the default rules :-).

Pulse screws up so many different ways, that "yum erase pulseaudio"
is still one of my first post-install tweaks, along with disabling
NetworkManager and enabling network.
