Do you really want to handicap the security on your Linux server by disabling SELinux? I use the audit2allow command as outlined at http://www.linuxforums.org/articles/accomodating-avc-denied-messages-selinux_355.html to create and load needed local policies for SELinux. It is an iterative process until all the SELinux denials are found. I've done this successfully on RHEL 6.3 and RHEL 6.4.
-----Original Message----- From: Linux on 390 Port [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Chase, John Sent: Wednesday, October 02, 2013 10:37 AM To: [email protected] Subject: EXTERNAL: Disabling SELinux Hi, All, We're having "fun" with installing a vendor's web server into a RHEL 6.3 guest on z/VM 6.2. Vendor's support person talked us through setting the SELinux configuration to "disabled" and rebooting Linux, but it still comes up with SELinux showing "permissive". The installation appears to be in "grasping at straws" stage; I've not been informed of the exact problem that's occurring yet. What else must be done to get the RHEL vm to come up with SELinux showing "disabled" instead of "permissive" in response to a 'getenforce' command?
