This sounds like a problem with certmonger. Do you get any SELinux AVCs when trying to start the certmonger service (/var/log/audit/audit.log)?
I am not getting any entries in /var/log/audit/audit.log when I run 'service certmonger start'. Not there and not in any other log.
At Rob's suggestion I have traced the startup and found this: connect(7, {sa_family=AF_FILE, path="/var/run/dbus/system_bus_socket"}, 33) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or directory) which means that certmonger failed to start because messagebus was not running. I have re-enabled message bus and started up the process and now certmonger starts as well. The bug can be closed (although a bug shall be reopened against certmonger so it properly logs why it fails to start).
It is a known certmonger issue.
