Summary
The /etc/selinux/config configuration file controls whether SELinux is enabled or disabled, and if enabled, whether SELinux operates in permissive mode or enforcing mode. The SELINUX variable may be set to any one of disabled, permissive, or enforcing to select one of these options. The disabled option completely disables the SELinux kernel and application code, leaving the system running without any SELinux protection. The permissive option enables the SELinux code, but causes it to operate in a mode where accesses that would be denied by policy are permitted but audited. The enforcing option enables the SELinux code and causes it to enforce access denials as well as auditing them. Permissive mode may yield a different set of denials than enforcing mode, both because enforcing mode will prevent an operation from proceeding past the first denial and because some application code will fall back to a less privileged mode of operation if denied access.
