Test Trellix ENS for Linux processes are running in SELinux confinement mode

Prev Next

Check if Trellix ENS for Linux SELinux policy modules are loaded and Trellix ENS for Linux processes are running in SELinux confinement.

  1. Verify the SELinux policy modules are loaded appropriately.

    # semodule -l | grep -i mfe

    The sample output on applying this command is:

    # semodule -l | grep -i mfe
    mfe_ens_esp     10.7.0
    mfe_ens_fw      10.7.0
    mfe_ens_rt      10.7.0
    mfe_ens_tp      10.7.0
    
  2. Verify whether Trellix ENS for Linux processes are running in SELinux confinement.

    # ps auxZ | grep -E 'mfeespd|mfefwd|mfetpd' | grep -v grep

    The sample output on applying this command is:

    #  ps auxZ | grep -E 'mfeespd|mfefwd|mfetpd' | grep -v grep

    Note

    Your installation will fail when the default SELinux is not supported by rpm.

    Failed dependencies:
    	selinux-policy >= 3.14.1-61 is needed by McAfeeENS-selinux-10.7.0-10.el8.noarch
    This is corrected by verifying the rpm is supported by linux os.
