I finally found the problem.  The colo center had built this machine for 
our client.  They installed McAfee LinuxShield.  I asked him to have 
them remove it.  They said they did; he forwarded the email on to me.

So it wasn't until I'd tested everything else that I decided to look for 
LinuxShield.  Guess what... it was still running.

It's removed now.
