SELinux Configuration
Security Enhence Linux is enabled by default.
[root@localhost ~]# sestatus SELinux status: enabled SELinuxfs mount: /selinux Current mode: enforcing Mode from config file: enforcing Policy version: 24 Policy from config file: targeted [root@localhost ~]#
To Keep SELinux running but ask it not to enforce the Security Policy, do the following:
[root@localhost ~]# setenforce 0 [root@localhost ~]# sestatus SELinux status: enabled SELinuxfs mount: /selinux Current mode: permissive Mode from config file: enforcing Policy version: 24 Policy from config file: targeted
It is not recommended to turn off SELinux. It is recommended that you should set it to permissive mode if you encounter SELinux policy issue that cannot be resolvced by other means.
To switch SELinux from "permissive" mode to "enforcing" mode, do the following:
[root@localhost ~]# setenforce 1 [root@localhost ~]# sestatus SELinux status: enabled SELinuxfs mount: /selinux Current mode: permissive Mode from config file: enforcing Policy version: 24 Policy from config file: targeted
