Changing SELinux settings for PCLinuxOS

anaigini45 · 12-24-2009, 04:05 AM

I want to change the SELinux settings to permissive mode (temporarily) in my PCLinuxOS distro. But I can't find the configuration file to do so there. It is very different from Centos and Fedora settings.

Please help.

I've already tried the commands there, but it does not work....
It returns lots of error like

Code:

bash : newrole: command not found

Code:

bash : setenforce: command not found

The grub.conf file does not even exist in /boot/grub

Why do you think, you have selinux in PCLinuxOS ? ?

There isn't any by default.
No packages available, AFAIK.
So unless you did build it, new kernel module etc. :
No selinux'.

.....

By the way, the file 'grub.conf' has two names :
A link 'menu.list' is common, or the file name is
menu.list
.....

Actuallly, I'm in the process of installing and making nagios work in my PCLinux.One of the steps is to set SELinux to permissive mode. Since SElinux doesn't exist in PCLinux, what other settings do I have to change?

Because when I skip that step, I can't launch nagios through http://localhost/nagios.
The error message that I get is Error 404 : Object not found.

But apache works with http://localhost.

Do you have /etc/selinux?
There should be a config file, and inside SELINUX=permissive

I am actually as well start to play with it.

Or in grab boot selinux=1 enforcing=0, if you have it.

No I don't have any of those. I don't have /etc/selinux nor the lines selinux and enforcing. These are the contents of the menu.lst file in /boot/grub.

Do you have manual:
man selinux ?

In mine says about config file, check yours.
