[ubuntu-hardened] SELinux Troubles

[yossi ozani]

Hi Jonathan.

Check if the file /proc/cmdline has "selinux=1" if not add this to the file
and then reboot(This add notify the kernel to activate  selinux).

Regards
Yossi
BTW: You can use the command 'sestatus' to know the full status of SeLinux
on your system
