| Description | ||||
| If security functions are not verified, they may not operate correctly and the failure may go unnoticed. Security function is defined as the hardware, software, and/or firmware of the information system responsible for enforcing the system security policy and supporting the isolation of code and data on which the protection is based. Security functionality includes, but is not limited to, establishing system accounts, configuring access authorizations (i.e., permissions, privileges), setting events to be audited, and setting intrusion detection parameters. "policycoreutils" contains the policy core utilities that are required for basic operation of an SELinux-enabled system. These utilities include "load_policy" to load SELinux policies, "setfile" to label filesystems, "newrole" to switch roles, and "run_init" to run "/etc/init.d" scripts in the proper context. | ||||
