Ah,  a work  in progress...   ok, so the  UI that is on the way will 
have a setting to make it one of three values?
The purpose of the file is to set one of the three values when the 
system boots but not change it on the fly while the system is up?
OK, so  the next question is where is that file read  and used ?  the 
init program?  sysinit? I get the impression that it will be overridden 
by kernel parameters, how does that happen?
Last question, has consideration been given to changing the value in 
that file when someone changes the actual status of SELinux(enforcing or 
permissive) with setenforce.
Sorry for all the questions, but I am trying very hard to understand as 
mush as I can about SELinux.
Thanks for your help,
