Security-Enhanced Linux (SELinux) is a Linux kernel security module that provides a mechanism for supporting access control security policies, including mandatory access controls (MAC). For more information on SELinux refer to the following:

Chapter 2. Changing SELinux states and modes Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 | Red Hat Customer Portal

LifeKeeper requires “mmap_low_allowed” to be “on” when SELinux is enabled (enforcing or permissive modes). The LifeKeeper installation script will automatically update this setting when it detects that SELinux is enabled. On upgrade of LifeKeeper, “mmap_low_allowed” will not be automatically updated if the mode is set to permissive. If “mmap_low_allowed” is not enabled then error messages will be logged in /var/log/messages when LifeKeeper commands are executed similar to:

setroubleshoot[17263]: SELinux is preventing /opt/LifeKeeper/bin/lklogmsg from mmap_zero access on the memprotect labeled unconfined_service_t.

!WARNING The LifeKeeper setup utility must be run if SELinux is enabled after LifeKeeper has been installed. This will ensure the SELinux configuration is correct.
