That fixed it!!!!!

'su' no longer takes 20 seconds to complete!

The root shell still has XAUTHORITY set to /root/.xauthABCD, but commands
(like seaudit, up2date) now work. 

Thanks for the speedy response!

Try moving the 'pam_selinux.so open multiple' line before the
'pam_xauth.so' line in /etc/pam.d/su.  Dan, this is necessary under the
current policy to get xauth to run with the right permissions for the
new domain.
