I read about this bug in the CentOS 6.2 faq and the link showing it fixed in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=769859
but I am still getting it updating on a CentOS 6.5 server that had selinux disabled. I want to run selinux as permissive but it won’t load now on reboot.

I ran the yum update to apply this latest selinux update http://lists.CentOS.org/pipermail/CentOS-announce/2014-May/020294.html for CentOS-release-6-5.el6.CentOS.11.2.x86_64.

  • This seems strange. Try this.

    setenforce 0
    rm -rf /etc/selinux yum reinstall selinux-policy selinux-policy-targeted restorecon -R -v /etc/selinux
