[ILUG-BOM] Re:Third time loss of luser account

...

I do recall reading somewhere that we can disable it by passing some kernel parameter too. Google suggests this Append selinux=0 to kernel line in grub.

enforcing=0

And if you're using some Red Hat based distro (Mandriva too I think), the config file should be somewhere in /etc/sysconfig

you mean adding selinux=0 AND enforcing=0 in the kernel line in grub will close down selinux? And there's no config which looks like related to selinux by name in /etc...........I tried a find.....no luck!

SELinux can be controlled through GUI. In Mandriva he should go to System > Configure your computer > .....

and I did that...tried searching for SElinux....poked around in security....no go.......
