unable to disable selinux

[Rich Ibbotson]

Hi all,

Sorry if this is covered somewhere else, I haven't been able to find the 
answer in the archives.

I've just upgraded from RH8.0 to FC2 test3 and I'm trying to disable 
selinux until I get other problems sorted out.  I've tried passing 
selinux=0 on the kernel line in grub, and I've also tried creating a 
file /etc/sysconfig/selinux with the contents SELINUX=disabled.

Either way, whenever I issue a command like:
rpm -V x11-org

I see the error message:
/etc/security/selinux/file_contexts: No such file or directory

so I think selinux is enabled.  /usr/bin/selinuxenabled exits with a 
return value of 1.

What do I need to do to really disable selinux?  I'm running kernel 
2.6.5-1.327.

thanks,
Rich
