-====== SELinux - Understanding SELinux Configuration ======
-The SELinux configuration file is **/etc/selinux/config file**.
-Update the configuration file as follows:
-  * SELINUX=enforcing : Enforcing is the default mode which will enable and enforce the SELinux security policy on the Linux.  It will also deny unauthorized access and log actions in a log file.
-  * SELINUXTYPE=targeted : Only targeted network daemons (such as DNS, Apache and others) are protected.
-Save and close the file.  Make sure SELinux is not disabled using Grub boot loader.  Search /boot/grub/grub.conf file using grep and make sure the following line **DOES NOT** appears:
-<code bash>
-egrep -i 'selinux=0|enforcing=0' /boot/grub/grub.conf
-</code>
-If you found lines with selinux=0 or enforcing=0, remove them and save the changes.
-Reboot the server:
-<code bash>
-reboot
