Choosing A Webhost:
A web hosting service is a type of Internet hosting service that allows individuals and organizations to provide their own website accessible via the World Wide Web. Web hosts are companies that provide space on a server they own for use by their clients as well as providing Internet connectivity, typically in a data center. Web hosts can also provide data center space and connectivity to the Internet for servers they do not own to be located in their data center, called colocation. more...

Variable naming confusion: msg#00105

Variable naming confusion |
To me, there is a lot of confusion in the naming and choice of values of
the SELINUX booleans. (Maybe I just don't have my head around the
concepts.. - but I don't think I am alone)
For example:
The variable 'SELINUX' in the file /etc/selinux/config has the value
choices 'enforcing' or 'permissive'.
The variable 'enforce' in the /boot/grub/grub.conf file has the value
choices '=0' or '=1'
The variable shown by the command 'getenforce' is either 'Permissive' or
'Enforcing' (note the initial capitalization)
When using the runtime command 'setenforce', the argument is either '0'
or '1'
When using the script command 'selinuxenabled', the result is '0' if it
IS enabled.
Suggestions
The variable 'SELINUX' is either 'enabled' or 'disabled'
The variable 'enforcing' is either 'enabled' or 'disabled'
(This can be named 'enforce' rather than 'enforcing' - would help when
trying to remember whether the runtime command is 'setenforce' or
'setenforcing')
The variable 'SELINUXTYPE' is 'strict', 'targeted', 'myownpolicy',
'strangleddaemons', etc.
