When enabled, SELinux has two modes: enforcing and permissive. Use the getenforce or sestatus commands to check in which mode SELinux is running. The getenforce command returns Enforcing, Permissive, or Disabled. The sestatus command returns the SELinux s
# SELINUX= can take one of these three values: # enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced. # permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing. # disabled - No SELinux policy is loaded.
Setting SELinux to "Permissive" mode can help debug these issues without fully disabling security. In permissive mode, SELinux allows all access but logs actions that would normally be denied.
