I am not aware of SE linux running on this system unless centos is
enabling this by default. How do I check? (I know I should not ask...)

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]# uname -a
Linux centos1.tekran.com 2.6.18-8.el5 #1 SMP Thu Mar 15 19:57:35 EDT
2007 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

It depends how CentOS was installed, but SELinux probably is enabled.
The command sestatus will tell you.

You can control SELinux using the setenforce command or by editing
/etc/selinux/config.  Disabling it completely may require a reboot.

That's very bizarre, since the daemon is ostensibly running as root and
the permissions on /home/test clearly should allow the chdir.
