How to Make Sure SELinux Isn't Enabled?

[linux4me2]

I got the Altered RPMs email this morning, and found this thread, then followed the instructions in this post to disable PRELINKING.

All that seems to have gone well, but I read later in the thread that it's also recommended that SELinux not be used.

I read the man entry for SELinux, and then ran the following command to peak at the configuration file:

nano /etc/selinux/config

The file was empty, so I'm assuming that SELinux isn't running on my server. Is that correct?

Thanks.

Hello

You can use the "sestatus" command to verify if SELinux is disabled. Information about SELinux is found on the following document:

Installation Guide - System Requirements - Documentation - cPanel Documentation

Scroll down until you see "Disable SELinux" to review additional details about how to disable it, or how to check if it's running.

Thank you.

Thanks, Michael. It is indeed disabled on my server.
