will do.  the problem is that permissions in /dev/ somehow got set to
where noone but root had access to things like null, random, urandom,
etc....  with no software running on the box except a minimal install of
fc4 + yum update + yum groupinstall development tools (and i dont think
it was owned as it is behind a heavily paranoid firewall)

actually i have had selinux disabled in that file and it still cause
problems (which blows me away, as my selinux book insists that it is
equivalent to selinux=0 on the kernel command line... except in practice
it isnt)
