How to disable SELINUX on FC9

ZAMO · 06-25-2008, 12:01 AM

Hi all,

I have upgraded my Laptop from FC7 to FC 9(Fedora core). While upgrading I select the default options for all.

I disabled selinux in FC7 , but it is turned-on in FC9. How can i disable it using a Command.

I am unable to use the SElinux management tool or security tool in either KDE or Gnome. I am denied to browse all my directories owned by me(am root now and before).I cannot do anything , other than roaming as a normal user. I want to disable SElinux.

Please help me.
Thanks

setenforce isn't persistent though.

Change SELINUX in /etc/selinux/config to disabled to make it permanent.

Sounds like your issues are bigger than SELinux though

I agree. And by choosing Fedora 9 you have the opportunity to work with them to improve things, please consider that. It is the least you can offer them for the work they put into this. Sidestepping issues may be convenient and easy but it does not help you or others.
