Add or modify the following line in the "/etc/selinux/config" file:

SELINUXTYPE=targeted

A reboot is required for the changes to take effect.

Verify "SELinux" is active and enforcing the targeted policy with the following command:

> sudo sestatus
SELinux status: enabled
SELinuxfs mount: /sys/fs/selinux
SELinux root directory: /etc/selinux
Loaded policy name: targeted
Current mode: enforcing
Mode from config file: enforcing
Policy MLS status: enabled
Policy deny_unknown status: allowed
