NAME

       sestatus.conf - The sestatus(8) configuration file.

DESCRIPTION

       The  sestatus.conf  file is used by the sestatus(8) command with the -v option to determine what file and
       process security contexts should be displayed.

       The fully qualified path name of the configuration file is:
              /etc/sestatus.conf

       The file consists of two optional sections as described in the FILE FORMAT section. Whether  these  exist
       or not, the following will always be displayed:
              The current process context
              The init process context
              The controlling terminal file context

FILE FORMAT

       The format consists of two optional sections as follows:
              [files]
              file_name
              [file_name]
              ...

              [process]
              executable_file_name
              [executable_file_name]
              ...

       Where:
              [files]
                     The start of the file list block.
              file_name
                     One  or more fully qualified file names, each on a new line will that will have its context
                     displayed. If the file does not exist, then it is ignored. If the file is a symbolic  link,
                     then sestatus -v will also display the target file context.

              [process]
                     The start of the process list block.
              executable_file_name
                     One or more fully qualified executable file names that should it be an active process, have
                     its context displayed. Each entry is on a new line.
