NAME

       setsebool - set SELinux boolean value

SYNOPSIS

       setsebool [ -PNV ] boolean value | bool1=val1 bool2=val2 ...

DESCRIPTION

       setsebool  sets the current state of a particular SELinux boolean or a list of booleans to
       a given value. The value may be 1 or true or on to enable the boolean, or 0  or  false  or
       off to disable it.

       Without  the  -P option, only the current boolean value is affected; the boot-time default
       settings are not changed.

       If the -P option is given, all pending values are written to the policy file on  disk.  So
       they will be persistent across reboots.

       If the -N option is given, the policy on disk is not reloaded into the kernel.

       If the -V option is given, verbose error messages will be printed from semanage libraries.

EXAMPLE

       Enable container_use_devices boolean (will return to persistent value after reboot)
       # setsebool container_use_devices 1
       Persistently enable samba_create_home_dirs and samba_enable_home_dirs booleans
       # setsebool -P samba_create_home_dirs=on samba_enable_home_dirs=on
