Karl,

The SELinux settings are contained in "/etc/sysconfig/selinux".  I have 
SELinux disabled, and the file looks like this:

[root at server ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/selinux
# This file controls the state of SELinux on the system.
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
#       enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
#       permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
#       disabled - SELinux is fully disabled.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
#       targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.
#       strict - Full SELinux protection.
SELINUXTYPE=targeted

Note that any changes to this file require a reboot to take affect.  
"sestatus" can then be used to verify the change:

[root at server ~]# sestatus
SELinux status:         disabled
