Messages while booting RHEL5......

[LeelaKumar1986]

Hi frndzz....

I'm running RHEL5. Everything is well with my system. However, when I boot the system it sits there for few minutes.

The messages are below:

Turning On allow_ypbind SELinux boolean...
Binding NIS Domain...
Turning Off allow_ypbind SELinux boolean...

I have went to single user mode and and issued the command:

chkconfig bind off
chkconfig nfs off

However, the issue still persists.....

How to find out whether SELinux is in enabled or in permissive mode.

How to disable SELinux...

Most importantly how do I get rid of the above messages and boot it normally...

any suggestions will be greatly appreciated........

Hi,

ypbind is related to the NIS service. So trying switching off the ypbind, ypserv & ypxfrd services with the chkconfig command

To check status of SELinux:
cat /selinux/enforce --- An output of 1 means its in enforcing mode

To disable SELinux
1) In /etc/selinux/config file change the line SELINUX=enforcing to SELINUX=disabled
or
2) in the file /boot/grub/menu.lst
append enforcing=0 to the line that begins with kernel
