Turning Off SELinux

Temporarily turn off SELinux

echo 0 > /selinux/enforce

The file itself will be empty, but you'll see something in /var/log/messages

dbus: avc:  received setenforce notice (enforcing=0)

Of course you can also turn it back on with "1" instead of "0".

This temporary change will not persist through a system reboot. You need to modify /etc/selinux/config to make permanent changes.

Annoyingly, if you check to see if selinux is enabled, it reports "enabled" even when it's temporarily disabled!?

selinuxenabled && echo enabled || echo disabled
