Hi David!
One of these days I shall have to install KDE on something, lots of
good stuff there.
By hand:
Scan through "man selinux"
Go to /etc/selinux
Become root
copy config to config.old
use vi or another editor to edit /etc/selinux/config -- specifically:
---------------------------------------------------------------------
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - SELinux is fully disabled.
SELINUX=enforcing
--------------------------------------------------------------- -- To Be:
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SELINUX=permissive
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Save and exit
Reboot
Happy Hunting!
Tod
