Nope.  Have had no problems with it under SELinux, but only 1 platform
running the combination.  If your "other administrator" can't give some
empirical reasons for what he thinks, well, no reason to say anything
unkind, it's Advent....

Generally in such a situation, if you actually have reason to suspect
SELinux, you just chase it down via log entries and make adjustments.
Sometimes it's as simple as a global relabel (touch /.autorelabel;shutdown
-r 0).
