sestatus.conf(5)					    sestatus configuration file 					  sestatus.conf(5)

NAME

       sestatus.conf - The sestatus(8) configuration file.

DESCRIPTION

       The sestatus.conf file is used by the sestatus(8) command with the -v option to determine what file and process security contexts should be
       displayed.

       The fully qualified path name of the configuration file is:
	      /etc/sestatus.conf

       The file consists of two optional sections as described in the FILE FORMAT section. Whether these exist or not, the following  will  always
       be displayed:
	      The current process context
	      The init process context
	      The controlling terminal file context

FILE FORMAT

       The format consists of two optional sections as follows:
	      [files]
	      file_name
	      [file_name]
	      ...

	      [process]
	      executable_file_name
	      [executable_file_name]
	      ...

       Where:
	      [files]
		     The start of the file list block.
	      file_name
		     One  or  more  fully qualified file names, each on a new line will that will have its context displayed. If the file does not
		     exist, then it is ignored. If the file is a symbolic link, then sestatus -v will also display the target file context.

	      [process]
		     The start of the process list block.
	      executable_file_name
		     One or more fully qualified executable file names that should it be an active process, have its context displayed. Each entry
		     is on a new line.

EXAMPLE

       # /etc/sestatus.conf
       [files]
       /etc/passwd
       /etc/shadow
       /bin/bash
       /bin/login
       /lib/libc.so.6
       /lib/ld-linux.so.2
       /lib/ld.so.1

NAME

       sestatus - SELinux status tool

SYNOPSIS

       sestatus [-v] [-b]

       This tool is used to get the status of a system running SELinux.

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page describes the sestatus program.

       This tool is used to get the status of a system running SELinux. It displays data about whether SELinux is enabled or disabled, location of
       key directories, and the loaded policy with its status as shown in the example:
	      > sestatus
	      SELinux status:		   enabled
	      SELinuxfs mount:		   /selinux
	      SELinux root directory:	   /etc/selinux
	      Loaded policy name:	   targeted
	      Current mode:		   permissive
	      Mode from config file:	   enforcing
	      Policy MLS status:	   enabled
	      Policy deny_unknown status:  allow
	      Max kernel policy version:   26

       sestatus can also be used to display:

	      -   The security context of files and processes listed in the /etc/sestatus.conf file. The format of this file is described in  ses-
		  tatus.conf(5).

	      -   The status of booleans.

OPTIONS

       -v
	      Displays	the  contexts  of files and processes listed in the /etc/sestatus.conf file. It also checks whether the file is a symbolic
	      link, if so then the context of the target file is also shown.

	      The following contexts will always be displayed:
		     The current process context
		     The init process context
		     The controlling terminal file context

       -b
	      Display the current state of booleans.
