Unable to enable SeLinux on RHEL 7
I worked all night on creating an RHEL 7 template customized for our private cloud and almost had it ready. While doing the final part, enabling GDM, I made the blunder of disabling SELINUX. Now I am not able to re-enable or put into permissive mode again. Earlier, when this happened on RHEL 6 (maybe 2 years ago) I remember a restart cleared the issue but now it isn't. I had reinstalled the selinux-targeted-policy RPM and updated GRUB but SELINUX still stands disabled.

GDM would not work when SELINUX is disabled. Could someone please help me out here?

Also, I would like to share my excitement about RHEL 7 here. The booting time is very less.. the machine is coming back online in a matter of 6 seconds after I issue 'init 6' Smilie

Hmm, how often do you plan to reboot your servers?

If you are asking if I had restarted my machine to get rid of the SELINUX disability persistence, I did restart everytime for the changes on /etc/selinux/config file & 'setenforce' command to take effect.
