How to Disable SELinux Temporarily or Permanently in RHEL/CentOS 7/6

Linux is regarded as one of the most secure operating systems you can use today, that is because of its illustrious security implementation features such as SELinux (Security-Enhanced Linux).

Disable SELinux in CentOS, RHEL and Fedora

For starters, SELinux is described as a mandatory access control (MAC) security structure executed in the kernel. SELinux offers a means of enforcing some security policies which would otherwise not be effectively implemented by a System Administrator.
