I'm getting a SELinux warning when trying to start a perl daemon (bigsister) that I installed on a fresh CentOS 4.2 system and the start fails (there is nothing else logged, I cannot be sure that this is the fail reason but I assume it). However, SELinux is set to permissive mode, isn't permissive mode meant to only issue warnings and not block anything? So, as a first workaround I tried disabling SELinux, but this doesn't work either, I still get the warning which should not happen at all if disabled.
cat /selinux/enforce shows "0" (= not enforced) I disabled by setting SELINUX=disabled in /etc/sysconfig/selinux (whichs symlinks to /etc/selinux). Yes, I rebooted with each try.
The unofficial SELinux FAQ at http://www.crypt.gen.nz/selinux/faq.html says to add a kernel parameter to grub.conf for completely disabling it. However, that's not what I want. I want to disable it by "normal" means (or preferrably set it to *real* permissive mode). What am I doing wrong?
