I hate SELinux

Every time I upgrade the selinux-policy-targeted and
selinux-policy-targeted-sources files using yum, my
cedega/winex3/crossover programs stop working. How do I fix this abortion?
I once did it by going to the gui program Security Level
Configuration and un-checking the Enforcing Current Permissive box.
Uninstall seems to be a beautiful idea to me.

It depends what you mean by "fix". If you want to alter your policy to
allow whatever is being blocked then look at the errors in your
/var/log/messages and change the policy to allow those actions. There
is even a tool (audit2allow) which will turn refusals into permit
statements. If you're doing this it's best to run in permissive mode
for a while to catch everything you need to change.

If you want to turn selinux off altogether then exit
/etc/sysconfig/selinux and set it to "disabled". When you next reboot
it's gone.

If you're interested in getting on top of selinux then have a look at
the FAQ page:

http://fedora.redhat.com/docs/selinux-faq-fc3/

or join the selinux mailing list:

http://www.redhat.com/mailman/listin...a-selinux-list

(I'm assuming from the package names you're using that you're using
Redhat / Fedora).

HTH

Simon.

Thanks Simon, I will be turning it off. BTW, I'm using FC3 on a AMD64
Cheers!
