Description

The SELinux (Security Enhanced Linux) cookbook provides recipes for manipulating SELinux policy enforcement state.

SELinux can have one of three settings:

Enforcing

• Watches all system access checks, stops all 'Denied access'
• Default mode on RHEL systems

Permissive

• Allows access but reports violations

Disabled

• Disables SELinux from the system but is only read at boot time. If you set this flag, you must reboot.

Disable SELinux only if you plan to not use it. Use Permissive mode if you just need to debug your system.
