Try booting that VM appending "enforcing=0" to the kernel command line. If
that helps, then it really is an SELinux issue.
FWIW, I'm "su -"ing to root on CentOS 5 with SELinux disabled. I may get
around to enabling it someday, but not right now.
I tried both 'setenforce 0' and appending 'enforcing=0' to the kernel
arguments. Neither allowed me access.
Would having the user accounts being held in an LDAP directory have any
effect (though I don't see how it'd effect one access method and not the
other)?
