[root@k5d init.d]# whereis selinux
selinux: /etc/selinux /usr/include/selinux /usr/share/selinux
/usr/share/man/man8/selinux.8.gz
[root@k5d init.d]#
So there is some reading that needs doing.
Karl,
The SELinux settings are contained in "/etc/sysconfig/selinux". I have
SELinux disabled, and the file looks like this:
[root@server ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/selinux
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - SELinux is fully disabled.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
# targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.
# strict - Full SELinux protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
Note that any changes to this file require a reboot to take affect.
"sestatus" can then be used to verify the change:
[root@server ~]# sestatus
SELinux status: disabled
