Not LDM-related, as far as I can tell. Experimenting with SElinux. Put it
into enforcing mode a few weeks ago after running it in permissive mode
looking for errors. Never saw any errors in permissive, so set it to
enforcing on the fly.
You can do that, but evidently, it wasn't clean and a side effect was that
syslog could 1) no longer write to /var/log/messages and 2) had no way of
telling me that since ... well ... see #1.
Couldn't figure out at first why syslog was not writing despite HUPping it
and decided to patch/reboot. That's when it all became clear. Put it back
in permissive mode after the reboot and am now getting the SElinux audit
messages that I should have seen before.
So, note to self, a reboot really is required to change SElinux levels even
if you can echo stuff into /selinux/enforce.
Thanks, as always, to Steve E for the troubleshooting help.
