What is managed policy?
Prior to Fedora Core 5, SELinux policies were handled as user-editable config files in etc. Unfortunately, this made it difficult to address many of the usability issues arising with SELinux. So, a new library, libsemanage, was added to provide userspace tools an interface to making policy management easier. All policy management should use this library to access the policy store. The policy store holds all the policy information, and is found at /etc/selinux/policyname/modules/. You should never have to edit the store directly. Instead, you should use tools that link against libsemanage. One example tool is semanage, which is a command line tool for managing much of the policy such as SELinux user mappings, SELinux port mappings, and file contexts entries. Other examples of tools that use libsemanage include semodule which uses it to manage the SELinux policy modules installed to the policy store and setsebool which uses it manage SELinux policy booleans.
