I will look after yum is finished updating the system.  Never had SElinux
running with FC2.

Interesting.

It is the replacement server for my website, so httpd and ftpd will be
running, as well as sendmail.

If the above packages are missing from the system, it is interesting that
the installer never installed them, or set up the system with SElinux
turned on in the config file when they weren't installed.

Thanks for the update.  I'll report back later, much later as it is going
to take quite a wile to update 400 packages.
