Hi Ed,
It's because "semanage boolean -m " will modify actual state and also
default value which is important for reboot.
Next tool for changing values of boolean is "setsebool" if you use:
# setsebool virt_use_nfs=1 ; this will turn on mentioned boolean but it
will be off after reboot.
# setsebool -P virt_use_nfs=1 ; will turn on mentioned boolean and it
will be persistent, it stay on after reboot.
So:
If you use: semanage boolean -m --on virt_use_nfs is same as setsebool
-P virt_use_nfs=1 and result will be:
virt_use_nfs (on , on) Allow virt to use nfs
If you use setsebool virt_use_nfs=1 result will be:
virt_use_nfs (on , off) Allow virt to use nfs
I hope it's clear now.
Yes, that clears it up nicely.
Thanks.
Ed
