I had mis-remembered.  What it actually said (page 10, if you have LXF 124, 
November) was that the firewall by default turns of multicasting.  The 
'comment' is a bit of a rant, saying that if something as vital as this is 
disabled there should be some way of alerting you to it.

That rules out SELinux, then.  If you haven't done so, check firewalls - but I 
think someone already told you to do that.
