SELinux : Policy Type2023/02/20 |
|
If SELinux is in [Enforcing/Permissive], it's possible to choose Policy Type.
You can modify the selected policy for your own environment if you need.
It's possible to set Policy Type in [/etc/selinux/config] file.
AlmaLinux 9 Default Policy is [targeted] Policy.
However, if you change the Policy Type, it needs to install Policy File.
For AlmaLinux 9 Minimal, only [targeted] Policy is installed by default.
If you change to a Policy without installing Policy File, System will not start, so Be Careful well.

# default is [targeted] [root@dlp ~]# cat /etc/selinux/config # This file controls the state of SELinux on the system. # 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. # See also: # https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/getting-started-with-selinux/#getting-started-with-selinux-selinux-states-and-modes # # NOTE: In earlier Fedora kernel builds, SELINUX=disabled would also # fully disable SELinux during boot. If you need a system with SELinux # fully disabled instead of SELinux running with no policy loaded, you # need to pass selinux=0 to the kernel command line. You can use grubby # to persistently set the bootloader to boot with selinux=0: # # grubby --update-kernel ALL --args selinux=0 # # To revert back to SELinux enabled: # # grubby --update-kernel ALL --remove-args selinux # SELINUX=enforcing # SELINUXTYPE= can take one of these three values: # targeted - Targeted processes are protected, # mls - Multi Level Security protection. SELINUXTYPE=targeted # for example, change to [mls] Policy # install policy file first, don't forget it [root@dlp ~]# dnf -y install selinux-policy-mls
