During the Fedora 7 installation when it asked whether I wanted
SELinux I said no. Since then I have not thought further about it
really until I noticed some SELinux messages in /var/log/messages.
I don't even *have* a /etc/selinux/conf, presumably saying 'no' to
installation is the reason for this.
Ah, no, the file is /etc/selinux/config. No, I don't have
"SELINUX=disabled" in it, it has:-
SELINUX=permissive
SELINUXTYPE=targeted
SETLOCALDEFS=0
OK, so I need to change to "SELINUX=disabled" to turn it off
completely, but why wasn't it set that way when I said 'no' during
installation?
