Hi I did that and looked at dmesg and it says even though I have
tried to turn off SELinux 4 times it is still coming up in passive
mode! Is there a way to for SURE turn off SELinux?
You never tried to turn it off, so of course it comes up at every
reboot. Auto relabeling just does that, relabels stuff for SElinux.
You can set SElinux to "disabled" if you so desire. Some folks like
to use the security-config option for that, others prefer editing
/etc/sysconfig/selinux . Whatever method you choose, you have to
reboot after that and you'll notice just before your services start
up, SElinux will come up and go into disabled mode... There are way
too many things within FC that relies on SElinux, so you can't REMOVE
it, but you can turn it off as mentioned above.
Well I used the edit mode at /etc/sysconfig/selinux and there was
nothing to do. It says that it is in the disabled mode but it isn't.
Where else can I look? All the things on the gui say that selinux is
turned off because I did that 4 times. But dmesg says that my computer
is coming up in the passive mode. There MUST be a way to stop this :-(
