Why does the following “cat” command fail?
Issue
- Why
cat /proc/self/attr/currentreturnsInvalid argumentwhen SELinux is disabled? - With SELinux in
disabledmode gives below output :
[nbk15lk@lrchm00dn01 tmp]$ cat /proc/self/attr/current
cat: /proc/self/attr/current: Invalid argument
[nbk15lk@lrchm00dn01 tmp]$ sestatus
SELinux status: disabled
- When in
enforcingmode gives below output :
[root@rhel6u7-1 ~]# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 6.8 (Santiago)
[root@rhel6u7-1 ~]# cat /proc/self/attr/current
