I did as you suggested and it didn't work.
How does one relabel. In the past I turned selinux off - reboot turn selinux
on -reboot. This to me is inefficient. Is there another way?
If you disable SELinux rather than put it in permissive mode, you'll
need to do a full relabel. This has to be done during the boot process
really. It takes a long time, as you know.
Use system-config-securitylevel to put SELinux in permissive mode, then
do:
# touch /.autorelabel
# reboot
Once it has booted, the system should be labelled properly and you
shouldn't need to reboot again.
