[CentOS] selinux stuff - I just don't get

[Peter Farrow]

/etc/selinux/config

Change this line:

SELINUX=enforcing

to this:

SELINUX=disabled

You can then either reboot to make it take effect or:

echo 1 > /selinux/disable

Takes it completely out your hair and allows the system to work "properly"

Regards

Pete
