You are trying to send the signal as root (ie. it is worth double checking
you aren't doing something that ordinary linux would block)?
It may also be worth checking what selinux type you are running - for most
circumstances "targeted" is the right choice - the other options "strict"
and "mls" are probably too paranoid for most purposes.
