selinux what are the differences between setenforce 0 to permanent selinux
setenforce 0
will only temporarily disable SELinux. The next time you reboot the server, selinux will be back on.
When you edit /etc/selinux/config
, that makes the change persistent across reboots.
Generally speaking, if at all possible, you should keep SELinux turned on. setenforce 0
allows you to troubleshoot issues with the goal of turning it back on (with setenforce 1
).
But there are indeed some vendors out there who unfortunately insist on disabling it completely. I personally try to avoid such vendors.
