It's interesting you mention that. I've seen selinux behave differently
between disabled state and permissive for a long, LONG time.
As I understand it, permissive should allow all operations but give
warnings while disabled means, well, disabled. However, I've seen
permissive mode _block_ some operations and not issue any warnings
about those blocked operations.
I can't give details about what has been blocked in the past. I've lost
track of the records. I do recall a lot of it had to do with networking
operations. This issue seems somehow related.
This is known, there are *some* special forms of SELinux filtering that
can't be made 'permissive'. It works for most stuff, though. I think
Dan has a blog post on it somewhere.
