(4/20) - SELinux Enforcing vs Permissive Explained | Temporary vs Persistent Changes

In this video, I demonstrate how to check and modify the default SELinux configuration on a Linux system. Topics covered: Viewing the SELinux configuration file: `/etc/selinux/config` Understanding SELinux modes: Enforcing vs Permissive Using the `getenforce` command to verify the active SELinux mode Temporarily changing SELinux mode with `setenforce permissive` Making SELinux changes persistent across reboots by editing the configuration file Rebooting the system to prove the difference between temporary and persistent changes This tutorial helps explain why changes made with `setenforce` are not permanent and how to correctly configure SELinux so your preferred mode survives a reboot. Commands used: getenforce setenforce permissive cat /etc/selinux/config #Linux #SELinux #SysAdmin #CyberSecurity #RedHat #LinuxAdmin #RHCSA 👍 If you found this helpful, don’t forget to: Like the video Subscribe for more Linux & Red Hat tutorials Share with others preparing for RHCSA
