For your machine at home, you may want to just turn it off; if you really
want to see what might be going on at work, set it to permissive, which
will let it all happen, but gripe.
setenforce 0
turns it off.
Edit /etc/selinux/config to fix it over reboots.
Also look at /var/log/audit/audit.log. It will get the error, and tell you
to run sealert to see what the error's complaining about.
