Don't use kernel parameters where configuration files in /etc tree accomplish the task much more elegantly and you can use GUI tools. # head -n 6 /etc/selinux/config # 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=permissive edit per instructions (changed to disabled) or use system-config-security and change it to disabled there (the result is exactly the same) Craig
