SELinux

  • If the OS is to be used for an Oracle installation, it is easier if Secure Linux (SELinux) is disabled or switched to permissive. To do this edit the "/etc/selinux/config" file, making sure the SELINUX flag is set as follows.
    SELINUX=permissive
    If SELinux is configured after installation, the server will need a reboot for the change to take effect.

Firewall

  • If the OS is to be used for an Oracle installation, it is easier if the firewall is disabled. This can be done by issuing the following commands from a terminal window as the "root" user.
    # systemctl stop firewalld
    # systemctl disable firewalld
You can install and configure it later if you wish.

SSH


  • Make sure the SSH daemon is started using the following commands.
    # systemctl start sshd.service
    # systemctl enable sshd.service
