How to turn off SELinux?

Answer: (pick either one)

1. Change the run-time configuration (won't take effect when you reboot)

# sestatus informs you of the two permission mode statuses,
# the current mode in runtime and the mode from the config
# file referenced during boot:

sestatus | grep -i mode
Current mode: enforcing
Mode from config file: enforcing

# Changing the runtime enforcement doesn't effect the
# boot time configuration:

setenforce 1
sestatus | grep -i mode
Current mode: permissive
Mode from config file: enforcing

2. Turn off SELinux permanently, use the following command

system-config-securitylevel
