Tom:
Yes, disabling selinux removes the problem.
I had looked at the selinux labeling and thought it looked OK, but
apparently not.
So some googling turns up this page:
http://www.redhat.com/docs/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/6-Beta/html/Sec...
which tells me EXACTLY how to fix it. To verify the problem:
matchpathcon -V /home
showed the incorrect context, and said what it should be (sorry, I didn't
capture it and now it's gone--I think it was file_t, but should have
been home_root_t.)
then /sbin/restorecon -v /home sets it to the right value, after which
rerunning the matchpathcon -V command shows it is correct.
a quick reboot and ssh to the system and voila! Problem solved.
Thanks, Tom, for pointing me in the right direction.
Now, does anyone know if/how I can enable encryption on my disk partitions
without havinig to use LVM?
Thanks again, everyone!
If selinux is enabled, it wants its mysterious labeling
on /home, and if you create /home later, it may need
fixes to make selinux happy. You could temporarily disable
selinux and see if problems go away (of course if
selinux is already disabled, I'm out of ideas :-).
