That is fine, but please do not recommend others disable it.

Because if it turns out not to be the problem they need to sit through a
relabel when they turn it back on.
If you are going to suggest something for testing you should suggest switching
to permissive instead of disabling. Even that isn't a great approach but
its quick to try and recover from unlike what you have been suggesting.
I concur.
I have access problems with mysql in Fedora 12 and shut off selinux as
you suggest - it did not solve the problem but went through 2 very long
relabeling processes, the last to reinstate selinux.
Although I am the only user on a non network single desktop computer I
would not recommend disabling selinux because the warnings produced in
my system display things that need attention. Permissive is useable
because one still gets the warnings.
