Will,

Thanks for letting me know.  Dan told me to do the
following:

I would try the following commands, they should have
executed during
 the
upgrade.

# semanage user -a -S targeted -P user -R
"unconfined_r system_r" -r
s0-s0:c0.c1023 unconfined_u
# semanage login -m -S targeted  -P user -s
"unconfined_u" -r
s0-s0:c0.c1023 __default__
# semanage login -m -S targeted  -P user -s
"unconfined_u" -r
s0-s0:c0.c1023 root

It since has cured the problem. Selinux got in the
way, I never suspected it.  Machine has been running
beautifully since.  

Regards,

Antonio
