I read some years ago, that you can have so much security on your machine, that you can't do anything with it anymore. For the first time, when I installed Fedora 7, I left selinux enabled in enforcing mode. Ntpd is running, but only getting it's time from my other machine on the LAN, which is getting it's time from Internet time servers, and ntp is working ok on Fedora 7. I did have a problem in not being able to ftp into the Fedora 7 machine from the other machine, but running setroubleshoot told how to resolve that problem. I don't have SElinux enabled on any of the other distros I run on my 2 machines. I'm only a home user, so perhaps not as paranoid about security as someone using their machines in the corporate/business environment. Glad you've got the problem resolved.
