Description Alexandre Oliva 2006-07-20 23:01:45 UTC 
Description of problem:
restorecond starts even with selinux disabled, and then it goes on over and over
trying to set the context of files such as /etc/mtab without ever succeeding.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
policycoreutils-1.30.17-5
Comment 1 Bill Nottingham 2006-08-01 19:13:23 UTC 
Moreover, it should not touch the lock file in /var/lock/subsys if  it fails to
start.
Comment 2 Michal Jaegermann 2006-08-02 16:56:32 UTC 
It looks to me that adding at the beginning of this script a line
like

[ -x /usr/sbin/selinuxenabled ] && /usr/sbin/selinuxenabled || exit 0

would solve the issue right away.
