How do I switch off SELinux
go to /etc/selinux/config
SELINUX=disabled
Whoops!No directory named selinux in my /etc.There's security AND securetty though.....
on your next reboot it'll be off.
and what's the
criteria for judging whether I need it or not?
at the bare minimum :
7% performance overhead(plus training incompetent adimins if you have any)
I don't,I use Linux at home......
v/s
Better access control
SELinux is for highly critical security needs. Most people don't need it
on
desktop machines. But it is good thing to learn. http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/ http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SELinux
Positively Brilliant answer :P
Only a little more clarity would have helped.
If I remember correctly MS was against SE(Security-Enhanced) being added
to
linux.
and where did you get this from? Please do share it with the rest of us.
Thanx Regards, Easwar

Did you do a customized install of SELinux?
Anyway, if you have installed it properly(where ever it is), try to find the config file which should probably be in the selinux directory itself.

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

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
