Yeah, got it. I have my params set to: [root@hoho2 etc]# cat selinux/config # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcinfg - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded. #SELINUX=disabled SELINUX=permissive SELINUXTYPE=strict Also just for good measure - my boot params are 'selinux=1 enforcing=0' Would be nice if the routines parsing these values would holler out if there are syntax errors (or manual mis-readings.., incorrect values, etc.) BobG On Mon, 28 Jun 2004 20:58:10 -0700, Tom London wrote: >Yeah, you don't want to set SELINUXTYPE to permissive.
