From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Opera/8.02 (Windows NT 5.1; U; en) Description of problem: When system-config-securitylevel is run from the terminal, a GUI application starts for the modifying of SELinux policies. There is a checkbox labelled "Enforce?" which is a two state option (checked or clear). But the file /etc/ selinux/config reveals via text comments there are three possible states: SELINUX=enforced, SELINUX=permissive, or SELINUX=disabled. Moreover, the text file implies the values are to be set in all lower case letters. However, making the changes via the GUI then later inspecting the file reveals the values in init-caps case (e.g., "Permissive" rather than "permissive"). If this is intentional or has any meaning then it ought to be explained -- either in the help file for the GUI or in the text comments for the config file (or both). Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. run system-config-security level from terminal AND ALSO 2. gedit /etc/selinux/config Additional info:
Yeah the options on that screen are pretty confusing. It should be made more clear with an update I'm almost done with.
