"Hints" was right. None worked. And then I realized they were all for 
stuff relating to a particular user. I had failed to mention in my OP 
that my issue appeared no matter what user I tried. So then it hit me 
like a ton of bricks that I could try at the root level. I was excited 
so swung a huge bat and deleted any pref file related to security in 
/private/var/root/Library/Preferences as well as /Library/Preferences. 
I have no idea which was the culprit but all is well now.

Thanks to all who read/considered/replied!
