How to disable SELinux?

[slobodan]

I've just installed Fedora 8 KDE from live CD. SELinux is blocking one of my applications,
so I ave a segmentation fault and application fails to run. How should disable SELinux ?
This is a first time using Fedora. I have only some experience with (K)Ubuntu .

thanks

Why disable selinux? What you can do is read the report and follow what is says.

If you do want to disable selinux you can do it by editing the following file.

/etc/selinux/config

Or

You can do it through the gui which is system-config-selinux

**Edit my bad fixed the problem.

You can disable selinux by editing /boot/grub/grub.conf and finding the lines that say something like the following (from my F7 system)

title Fedora (2.6.22.9-91.fc7)
        root (hd0,0)
        kernel /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.22.9-91.fc7 ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet selinux=0
        initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.22.9-91.fc7.img

Notice the 'selinux=0 at the end of the 'kernel' line???

HI thanks for this post
MIne is fedora 10, Gnome and I have tried to edit the grub but did not get "selinux" on /boot/grub/grub.conf
Then I typed a command, system-config-selinux, unfortunately it gives me silly error.

Then, finally I went back to edit /etc/selinux/config file
Then restarted the pc, it works fine now.
See this article if you need.

thanks again
