Configure SELinux Policy
Medium Severity
The SELinux
targeted
policy is appropriate for general-purpose desktops and servers, as well as systems in many other roles. To configure the system to use this policy, add or correct the following line in
/etc/selinux/config
:
SELINUXTYPE=
Other policies, such as
mls
, provide additional security labeling and greater confinement but are not compatible with many general-purpose use cases.
