How to completely disable SELinux in Android L in the init.rc file?

Question

I want to disable the SELinux at boot time for Android L or 5. The reason is that the daemon is not begin executed on boot when it should due to the SELinux problems. I have a following in my init.rc file:

su 0 setenforce 0

service my_daemon /system/bin/my_daemon 

    class main # Also tried: class core (but it didn't make a difference)

    user root

    group root

However, on the boot, I use adb shell to check if the SELinux is disabled (using getenforce) and it returns the Enforcing. I want the SELinux to be completely disabled on the boot. If not completely disabled then at least the Permissive.

Answer 1

After the code use sentenforce 0

setenforce 0

Enforce attribute will be Permissive immediately.
