Dump SELinux

The real problem here is that I don’t have the time to understand the perks of SELinux.. and.. it always seems to be in my way.  Current problem is with a yum install of bind.

Here’s the error:

Nov  8 07:21:24 localhost named: none:0: open: /etc/named.conf: permission denied
Nov  8 07:21:26 localhost setroubleshoot: SELinux is preventing the named-checkconf from using potentially mislabeled files (./named.conf). For complete SELinux messages. run sealert -l 82a8e3a9-7073-472c-b232-bec1d8e30374

To make it go away, we do this:

echo 0 > /selinux/enforce

If you want to bring it back:

echo 1 > /selinux/enforce

To make it permanent:

If you want it gone for good (after reboot), edit /etc/selinux/config and change this:
SELINUX=enforcing
to this:
SELINUX=permissive
