You're right. The author of the email came to the same conclusion once he read the docs: "A correction to my earlier email. Putting SELinux in permissive mode is a form of disabling. Here's the difference as described by an FAQ at http://www.crypt.gen.nz/selinux/disable_selinux.html: * Permissive - switch the SELinux kernel into a mode where every operation is allowed. Operations that would be denied are allowed and a message is logged identifying that it would be denied. The mechanism that defines labels for files which are being created/changed is still active. * Disabled - SELinux is completely switched off in the kernel. This allows all operations to be permitted, and also disables the process which decides what to label files & processes with.
