How to avoid inheriting selinux context for a daemon from its parent process INIT

I am a newbie at selinux. My application's daemon's are running with context inherited from the parent process INIT. Following is the output which I get from

`ps -eZ|grep daemon
{{ system_u:system_r:initrc_t:s0 5457 ? 00:00:02 daemon }}.

My requirement is that it should not inherit the context. I am fine with the daemon having an unconfined context. What should I look at ?

I read up on it that the context gets inherited but how to stop this.

Maybe take a look at how your system launches sshd. On my CentOS 7 system that shows as

system_u:system_r:sshd_t:s0-s0:c0.c1023

How you get there will depend on if your system is using inittab, upstart or systemd to launch processes from init.
