http://serverfault.com – I am working with the Linux -64 AMI on AWS. I am trying to get my mail server running on the box. In an attempt to turn on SELinux I did Edited /boot/grub/grub.conf and added selinux=1 to the end of the kernel statement Then touch /.autorelabel And then rebooted. Upon reboot I web browse to my website and I get a server access error saying I can not access / Of course I do not want to be at the root. What has gone wrong here? How can I get SELinux enabled so I can run a mail server? (HowTos)

Debian: SELinux not enabled 35 weeks 10 hours ago

I'm trying to setup SELinux on Debian 6 according to (the instructions reported on the Debian wiki).

I've run this commands:

apt-get install selinux-basics selinux-policy-default selinux-activate

After reboot, the system should have taken a while to label the filesystems on boot and then rebooted a second time when that was complete.

Hi all, i came across the following method of how to permanently disabling selinux and it's notifications. Although changing enforcement from the gui into permissive mode does most of the job, the notifications still pop-up when some applications are started. So to disable it do the following:

open terminal as root and execute:

I want to standardize my company on CentOS. Previously they used SL 6.2. I also want to disable SELinux until it is adopted better. I plan to standup the server and migrate the conf files over for the necessary services. Is there any implications given the SELinux and SL that I need to be aware of when migrating? Also this will probably be a physical to virtual migration.

Interrupt the boot at the grub prompt and append "selinux=0" to the end of the kernel parameter list. This will disable selinux and allow you to boot up. From your messages that you poste... [by TrevorH]

F18 and SELinux 19 weeks 1 day ago

Greetings,

I've installed F18 TC4 and it's running pretty well, with the exception of a SELinux issue that I can't resolve, probably due to the fact that I've never had any previous SELinux problems and I know nothing about it.

Anyway, it's the printer driver that is generating the error and the troubleshooting tips don't help.

Hi. I just updated my kernel and selinux-policy using '#yum update kernel* selinux-policy*' After a (reboot) the nouveau drivers stoped working, and I can use maintenace-mode. What can I do to prevent this from happening, or fix? #lspci: 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation GF110 [Geforce GTX 570 HD] (rev a1)

I'm following the Debian SELinux setup guide with my Linux Mint Debian Edition system. I installed the necessary packages:

sudo aptitude install selinux-basics selinux-policy-default selinux-utils policycoreutils

Activated SELinux and rebooted twice:

sudo selinux-activate

Checked the installation.

I have to set SELinux setenforce Permissive in order to give access to my samba share. I have also enabled null password in smb.conf for user admission as it was a simple way. I wonder if there is proper way to configure SELinux policy for fedora 17 as good admins do.
