+It is not recommended to switch between types often. At best, you choose= your +policy type at install type and stick with it. But it is not impossible = (nor +that hard) to switch between types. +

+ +

+First, you need to edit /etc/selinux/config so that it both +switches the policy type as well as put the mode in permissive. T= his is +necessary, since at your next reboot, many labels might (or will) be inc= orrect. +

+ +

+Next, edit /etc/fstab and make sure that the domains you us= e there +are updated accordingly. For instance, the line for /tmp: +

+ +
+# Example when switching from strict to mcs
+tmpfs  /tmp  tmpfs  defaults,noexec,nosuid,rootcontext=3Dsystem_u:object=
_r:tmp_t:c0  0 0
+
+ +

+When this is done, reboot your system. Log on as root, and relabel your = entire +file system using rlpkg -a -r. Finally, reboot again and then val= idate if +your context (such as when logged on as a user) is correct again. Once y= ou are +confident that the domains and contexts are correct, switch the SELinux = policy +mode back to "enforcing". +
