CompTIA Linux+ XK0-006 (V8) Practice Question

While troubleshooting a custom backup script on a CentOS Stream 9 host, you decide to put SELinux into permissive mode so the script can run but you can still see what would have been blocked. After running:

# setenforce 0

which outcome should you expect, and why is this useful when building a custom policy for the script?

  • SELinux continues to label objects and logs AVC denial messages but does not block the operations, letting the script run while you later feed the logged denials to tools such as audit2allow.

  • SELinux stops enforcing only network-related rules; file-system rules are still enforced so the script will continue to fail and generate partial AVC logs.

  • SELinux stops enforcing and stops auditing, so no AVC records are generated; this makes policy generation impossible.

  • SELinux unloads every policy module, removes existing file labels, and requires a complete filesystem relabel after the next reboot.
