# Test Trellix ENS for Linux processes are running in SELinux confinement mode

Check if Trellix ENS for Linux SELinux policy modules are loaded and Trellix ENS for Linux processes are running in SELinux confinement.

 
 

## Task

1. Verify the SELinux policy modules are loaded appropriately. 
  
  
 

<kbd> # semodule -l | grep -i mfe</kbd>

 
 

The sample output on applying this command is:

 
  
  
 

```
# semodule -l | grep -i mfe
mfe_ens_esp     10.7.0
mfe_ens_fw      10.7.0
mfe_ens_rt      10.7.0
mfe_ens_tp      10.7.0
```
2. Verify whether 
 Trellix ENS for Linux processes are running in SELinux confinement. 
  
  
 

<kbd> # ps auxZ | grep -E 'mfeespd|mfefwd|mfetpd' | grep -v grep</kbd>

 
 

The sample output on applying this command is:

 
 

```
#  ps auxZ | grep -E 'mfeespd|mfefwd|mfetpd' | grep -v grep

```
Failed dependencies:
	selinux-policy >= 3.14.1-61 is needed by McAfeeENS-selinux-10.7.0-10.el8.noarch
This is corrected by verifying the rpm is supported by linux os.
