Hi Paul,
some more insight:
if $::selinux
is true if the variable exists and does not contain the bool value ‘false’
Facter returns a string and therefor the if$var will always apply.
You have two possibilities:
1. like Johan mentioned:
Check for the proper value:
if $::selinux == ‘true’
2. modify the string prior testing:
if str2bool($::selinux)
str2bool is a function from std lib.
hth,
Martin
