I tried that and it worked -- the httpd processes are now listed with "httpd_t" as their context, the /var/log/audit/audit.log file is listed with auditd_log_t as its type instead if file_t, etc.

I'm pretty sure this machine was never "upgraded to CentOS 5.2", it was just imaged with 5.7 when the hosting company set it up, but SELinux *was* off until I turned it on. So probably the doc should say, if the "system was *installed* with 5.2, then do this" (and presumably it's 5.2 or later, not just 5.2).

Either that, or the base install was an earlier version of Centos 5.x, with SELinux turned off then upgraded to the current version.
