> SELinux as a whole is binary: either it is on or off. You can't run a specific program as unconfined, generate a policy from the errors, and enable it after a while.
You can make individual domains permissive with the overall system in enforcing. It's available in RHEL6 and RHEL7, I'm not sure about RHEL5.
Thanks for pointing this out! I used SELinux with RHEL5 and somehow missed this when I retried SELinux recently. I will definitely play with it again soon...
