How to Check for whether SELinux is Enabled or Disabled (document ID 432988.1)

There are 3 modes of SELinux:
Enforcing (or known as enabled), Disabled or Permissive.

Permissive mode loads the SELinux software, but doesn ' t enforce the rules, only logging is performed.

You can use the following command to check the status of SELinux:

[Email protected] ~]# uname-alinux servera 2.6.18-308.el5 #1 SMP Fri Jan 17:17:51 EST. x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 gnu/l Inux[[email protected] ~]# sestatusselinux Status:                 disabled[[email protected] ~]# Getenforcedisabled[[email Protected] ~]#

If you are in the program to determine the status of SELinux, use the following command:

[Email protected] ~]#/usr/sbin/selinuxenabled; If [$?-ne 0]; Then echo "DISABLED"; else echo "ENABLED"; Fidisabled
