Enter your root password. The 'Mandriva Linux Control Center' window will open up.
Inside the Security sub-menu, you have the first option 'Set the system security level and periodic security audit'. This sets the levels of security of in-built SELinux.
The other option 'Setup a personal firewall.....' is for your firewall settings.
You could also browse through 'Fine tune security permissions of the system'.
