I figured out how to fix it the "right" way. :-)

There's a great walkthrough of analysis tools for SELinux audit logs and how to 
create new permissions policies from them here: 
http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux#head-aa437f65e1c7873cddbafd9e9a73bbf9d102c072

After that, it was cookbook.  Had to do it once for Shorewall6, which worked on 
the first try, and then again for radvd - it was making some system call that 
its default policy wasn't covering for some reason.

It all starts on boot normally now without workarounds... thanks for the 
pointer in the right direction earlier, at 9am today I didn't even know what 
SELinux was, and now I have some of the fu. :-) 

Thanks again,
Andy

Set AUTOMAKE=Yes in shorewall6.conf. So long as your current compiled script is 
up to date when you re-boot, Shorewall6 will start at boot.
