Description Gerald Cox 2013-12-28 17:26:47 UTC
Description of problem:

Installed kernel in updates-testing repository.  After installation, filesystem was relabeled with SELINUX enabled even though selinux config specifies disabled.  As you can see from the sestatus command, SELinux shows enabled while mode from config file is disabled.  I tried rebooting to previous kernel, but can't turn it off now.    

/usr/sbin/sestatus
SELinux status:                 enabled
SELinuxfs mount:                /sys/fs/selinux
SELinux root directory:         /etc/selinux
Loaded policy name:             targeted
Current mode:                   permissive
Mode from config file:          disabled
Policy MLS status:              enabled
Policy deny_unknown status:     allowed
Max kernel policy version:      28
 


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
kernel-3.12.6-300.fc20


How reproducible:
Install kernel-3.12.6-300.fc20


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  dnf upgrade --enablerepo=updates-testing kernel*


Actual results:
SELinux enabled, even though configuration indicates disabled


Expected results:
SELinux configuration file determines whether or not SELinux is enabled
