I do recall reading somewhere that we can disable it by passing some kernel parameter too. Google suggests this Append selinux=0 to kernel line in grub.
enforcing=0
And if you're using some Red Hat based distro (Mandriva too I think), the config file should be somewhere in /etc/sysconfig
you mean adding selinux=0 AND enforcing=0 in the kernel line in grub will close down selinux? And there's no config which looks like related to selinux by name in /etc...........I tried a find.....no luck!
SELinux can be controlled through GUI. In Mandriva he should go to System > Configure your computer > .....
and I did that...tried searching for SElinux....poked around in security....no go.......

Just give me some time, I will check it out in my own installed Mandriva 2007. I remember I could change between levels after installation.

Either of the two. Not both. I am not sure which one works. Do look up in mandriva's documents too.

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'.
