=====Linux SElinux=====

To manage booleans you need to ensure that **policycoreutils-python** is installed!" Otherwise you do not have **semanage** and other tools

  yum install policycoreutils-python 
  
to list SELinux Contexts on files you need to use

  ls -Z
  
====Dealing with Booleans====
Had issues setting up Samba and FTP because of these!

Here is how to check them in RHEL

===Listing Booleans===

To see settings of all booleans use

  semanage boolean -l
  
===Configuring Booleans===

To check status of a Boolean 
  
  getsebool samba_enable_home_dirs
  
To change the Booleans 

  setsebool -P samba_enable_home_dirs on
  
** If you do not put the -P before the boolean the change will not survive a reboot!!**

===Booleans needed for SAMBA and FTP===
So Far I only have had to enable the home directories.  Without setting this booleans you got permissions denied errors!

^  Boolean  ^  Used for  ^
|  samba_eanble_home_dirs  |Allows smb users to use samba to access their home directories in Linux |
|  ftp_home_dir  | By default **vsftpd** uses a users home directory without this enabled they can access it  |
