SELinux won't disable
-
I’ve installed CentOS 6.5, and I’ve run the following command:
[CODE]sed -i ‘s/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=disabled/’ /etc/sysconfig/selinux[/CODE]
Then I rebooted, and when I run “sestatus” it shows the following:
[CODE]SELinux status: enabled
SELinuxfs mount: /selinux
Current mode: enforcing
Mode from config file: enforcing
Policy version: 24
Policy from config file: targeted[/CODE]This is the content of “nano /etc/sysconfig/selinux”:
[CODE]# 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 - No SELinux policy is loaded.
SELINUX=disabled
SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these two values:
targeted - Targeted processes are protected,
mls - Multi Level Security protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted[/CODE]
How do I disable SELinux?

Try the command:
[code]sed -i ‘s/SELINUX=enforcing/SELINUX=disabled/’ /etc/selinux/config[/code]Normally the /etc/sysconfig/selinux is just a symbolic link to /etc/selinux/config, but sometimes the link doesn’t happen and it becomes it’s own file.
Once you do the sed command, you will likely need to restart the system again.

Yes, that was it, selinux is now disabled. Thanks for the quick fix.
