Ok, and that really did happen, since you're enforcing, not permissive.
There should be a message in /var/log/messages with the kind of wording I posted, and it'll give you the command line for sealert.

Mark,

This is all I see in the /var/log/messages area for setroubleshoot......

May 10 13:42:22 www yum: Installed: setroubleshoot-2.0.5-5.el5_8.1.noarch
May 10 13:57:43 www setroubleshoot: [rpc.ERROR] attempt to open server connection failed: No such file or directory

I really appreciate yours and Alfred's help and continued patience with me. I don't understand why this is so hard for me to fix and I'm sorry if I am being a pest.
