It seems paradoxical that what is essentially a security tool recommends weakening the host operating system it is installed on by disabling SELinux:

echo "Disabling SELinux..."
if [ -e /selinux/enforce ]; then
echo 0 > /selinux/enforce
fi
if [ -e /etc/selinux/config ]; then
sed -i -e 's/^SELINUX=.*/SELINUX=disabled/g' /etc/selinux/config
fi

In which use cases does SELinux interfere with Zenoss? I could not find any - re-enabling SELinux seems to work fine.

Alternatively, if there are one or more use cases where SELinux interferes with Zenoss, I propose creating a proper SELinux policy instead, as explained at http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/SELinux
