system-cofnig-securitylevel command or applications->system 
configuration->Security Level, go to the SELinux tab and disable. You 
WILL *have* to reboot for the changes to take effect. Don't be 
surprised, though... You'll still see an audit message at boot time, it 
is normal since the kernel itself is SELinux capable and thus it does 
this, even it SELinux is not used.
