[ESS] Interactive SAS mode hangs

[Erin Jonaitis]

Ahhh. /usr/sbin/getenforce returned "Enforcing". Is this likely to affect how ESS works?

Thanks for your continued help -- this is a mystery to me (but as you can probably tell, I am no unix sysadmin myself).

I don't think that proves it.  For me, it is in /usr/sbin so try
/usr/sbin/getenforce

That looks right.

Other than it not working, everything looks right to me.  Sorry
