Reboot with a kernel that does not have the GRsecurity patches. Why would you want to do that though? Most likely, you've run into some problem where the security checks from GRsecurity are interfering with something you want to do. It'd be better to fix the checks to permit what you want than to shut off GRsecurity entirely.

Alternately, if you just want RBAC disabled, run "gradm -D" and give it your RBAC administration password. I recommend not doing that either, though. PaX and the randomization/chroot hardening are a good start, but IMO the RBAC system is the core of GRsecurity's protection.
