I let the OS relabel everything (on all 3 boxes). Today, only 1 of them 
seems to have had the initiator of this problem; looks like it's good now.

I can't imagine what I did to all 3! Furthermore, all were new installs 
(didn't just update my FC6 installs).

I do have BOINC running on all of them - but I don't think that would 
have munged anything.

When I stated that I didn't have a clue about this, I meant just the 
'relabel' notion - I did know of SElinux (of course). Someone mentioned 
that some people disable it; perhaps they just don't want anything in 
the way, or any 'extras'. I figured that I'd use it (leaving it on 
Enforcing). I just hope that it doesn't get obnoxious.
