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=targeted'
Other policies, such as 'mls', provide additional security labeling
and greater confinement but are not compatible with many general-purpose
use cases.
Parameter:
[targeted/mls]
Technical Mechanism:
Setting the SELinux policy to 'targeted' or a more specialized policy
ensures the system will confine processes that are likely to be
targeted for exploitation, such as network or system services.
Note: During the development or debugging of SELinux modules, it is common to
temporarily place non-production systems in 'permissive' mode. In such
temporary cases, SELinux policies should be developed, and once work
is completed, the system should be reconfigured to 'targeted'.
