- *Permissive* - switch the SELinux kernel into a mode where every operation is allowed. Operations that would be denied are allowed and a message is logged identifying that it would be denied. The mechanism that defines labels for files which are being created/changed is still active. Temporarily switch off enforcement You can switch the system into permissive mode with the following command: echo 0 >/selinux/enforce You'll need to be logged in as root, and in the sysadm_r role: newrole -r sysadm_r To switch back into enforcing mode: echo 1 >/selinux/enforce To check what mode the system is in, cat /selinux/enforce _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
