a strace gives:

write(1, "Current mode:                   "..., 42Current mode:                   enfor
cing
) = 42
open("/etc/selinux/config", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or director
y)
open("/etc/sysconfig/selinux", O_RDONLY|O_LARGEFILE) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or direc
tory)
write(1, "Mode from config file:          "..., 66Mode from config file:          error
 (No such file or directory)

where /etc/security/config will be used in the future to configure the policy type and the permissive/enforcing/disabled state at bootup.
