I installed CentOS 6.0 on 2 different x86_64 boxen. Both originally had selinux installed and enabled. I never touched selinux other than to remove as much of it as I could via rpm -e. As far as I can tell, here are the remaining packages that have something to do with it:
-- snip --
However:
- box1 still has files in /selinux whereas box2's /selinux is
empty; 2) ls -l on box1 shows a '.' at the end of file/directory, which means a SELinux security context applies, according to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_11_FAQ#Why_does_ls_show_a_dot_.28..29_...
Any idea why box1 still seems to have an selinux policy applied, and how to un-apply it?
Thanks,

Did you disable SELinux by changing 'SELINUX=disabled' in /etc/sysconfig/selinux? Wouldn't that be easier than removing all
I did not do so explicitly. But it is set to disabled as described above. I assume the rpm -e did that. So, there must be some other step missing.
As to that being easier: perhaps, had I known that file/setting existed.
the RPMs? If I may ask, is there a reason to removing the packages?
I do not plan to use them.
Less is more, right?
