1 I have a couple of old servers that are being replaced and repurposed as
2 developer testbed systems. Since they are already configured with all of the
3 software and settings that our production boxes need I want to keep them as
4 intact as possible. However, I want to remove selinux (and hardened in
5 general) from a couple of them.

7 The one and only time I tried to remove selinux from a running system it
8 severely broke coreutils and I ended up basically reinstalling. Is there a
9 known-safe procedure to remove the selinux bits from a system while leaving
10 everything else installed? What order do I need to do things to prevent the
11 existing selinux-aware stuff from falling apart?
