You called that.  I had to turn selinux off ages ago as it
foo bars Samba.  Selinux is a good idea that never made it
to the practical phase.

And, I wrote/configured my own firewall: all things are illegal,
except those things that are legal.  It is really nasty.  You
want in or out, you have to have a rule.  Even troubleshoots
your network setup (won't work unless it sees what it wants).
