SELinux Utilities setenforce

SELinux Utilities setenforce

The following are some of the commonly used SELinux utilities:

/usr/sbin/setenforce — Modifies in real-time the mode in which SELinux runs.

For example:

setenforce 1 — SELinux runs in enforcing mode.

setenforce 0 — SELinux runs in permissive mode.

To actually disable SELinux, you need to either specify the appropriate setenforce parameter in /etc/sysconfig/selinux or pass the parameter selinux=0 to the kernel, either in /etc/grub.conf or at boot time.

Displays the detailed status of a system running SELinux.
