Just passing this along, FYI...
After the 4th install of FC 4, I can finally log in - but only as root.
On the login screen, if I enter the incorrect password, lettering on the screen changes to indicate an incorrect login, as might be expected. Using the correct password, a separate dialog box appears saying "Authentication Failed". The root name and password is the only combination that works.
Booting with selinux=0 on the Grub command line does not help.
When installing, I enabled / selected kerberos and LDAP, thinking I might want them in the future - I did not configure them. Do I have to reinstall without them?

Yup, that's your problem all right... the PAM authentication subsystem is attempting to contact the kerberos and/or ldap servers at every login, but has nowhere to go and so returns failure.
As root, simply run "setup" from a terminal and choose "Authentication setup", and deselect anything you're not actually using right now.

Working on a new FC 4 system with SE linux installed - tried to migrate a script to rc.local while running another linux, found there was no rc.local file, just a link to a database.
Other than that, is SE Linux likely to cause me trouble? I understand that it's easier to uninstall if you don't want it, than it is to try to install later if you do want it.
The system will be the firewall for my home network. Later on it will be used as a server (web, ftp and other).
Is SE linux worth whatever trouble it might be?
If you're so inclined, I'd check out OpenBSD. 3.8 came out recently.
