And that fairly screams that its an selinux problem, one that setting it to 
permissive mode does NOT fix in my experience.

Append to the end of the kernel arguments line in your grub.conf, 'selinux=0' 
without the quotes and reboot.  If that fixes it, throw it back at the 
selinux mailing list where Stephen Smalley hangs out.

Me, I have a good natting router and firewall, and no desire to spend 3 weeks 
fixing all the gotcha's selinux throws up, so the total disable, and that is 
the only known way to do it I show above, has been part of my personal bag of
headache pills for quite a while now.
