thank you, troy. for 'long' and 'short'.
without 'long', i would not have picked up on another selinux command. ;)
i had read, and failed to mention, 'man' for 'restorecon', [and,
'load_policy', 'checkpolicy', 'setfiles'], which gave me insight to
what was going on. but there was no indication as to what triggered
'restorecon' to run.
now i why it occured after installing 'selinux-policy-targeted'. just
one more feature of selinux to know when any of it's files are being
updated legally and actions to take.
one more "that a boy" for NSA.
