How to disable SElinux

Rocky Linux Tech Help
1

Apologies but to me is not clear on how to disable the SElinux on Rocky 9.4.
By editing the file in /etc/selinux/config or using grubby commands, or I need to do it both?

Thank you

Maria

Just grubby; see, for example, How do I turn SELinux off in Red Hat Enterprise Linux? - Red Hat Customer Portal which describes how to do it for the different releases (all the way back to RHEL4!)

edit the file /etc/selinux/config and reboot.

vim /etc/selinux/config
# Comment out the line that has SELINUX=enforcing
# Add a line
SELINUX=disabled
       OR a line
SELINUX=permissive

You can set SELINUX to permissive temporarily by running as root

# setenforce 0
