I have an F-16 computer that was working normally a couple of
days ago when run this morning has an unusual [to me] problem.
When I su and type in the root password form the XCFE desktop it
spends about 20 seconds before displaying a prompt and then
instead of:
[bobg@box6 ~]$ su
Password:
[root@box6 bobg]# exit
I get a prompt: bash-4.2#
If instead of bringing up the desktop with startx I "su" it
changes to root quickly after entering the password, also with
the prompt "bash-4.2#."
Other than that it apparently works? But obviously something has
changed and I can't guess what?

If I ssh into box 9 from this computer [box6] I see the following which
appears to indicate an SELinux problem?
bash-4.2# cat /var/log/messages
