Description

On Fedora 27, the semanage executable can be used to set the default state of a boolean, but not its current state. To wit:

# semanage boolean --list | head -n 1
SELinux boolean                State  Default Description
# semanage boolean --modify --off pulp_manage_rsync
# semanage boolean --list | grep pulp_manage_rsync
pulp_manage_rsync              (off  ,  off)  Allow pulp to manage rsync
# semanage boolean --modify --on pulp_manage_rsync
# semanage boolean --list | grep pulp_manage_rsync
pulp_manage_rsync              (off  ,   on)  Allow pulp to manage rsync

Notice how semanage sets a policy's "default" state, but not its current state? In prior versions of Fedora, both the "state" and "default" fields would be updated by this command. To set the current state of a boolean, the setsebool command now has to be used:

# semanage boolean --list | grep pulp_manage_rsync
pulp_manage_rsync              (off  ,  off)  Allow pulp to manage rsync
# setsebool pulp_manage_rsync on
# semanage boolean --list | grep pulp_manage_rsync
pulp_manage_rsync              (on   ,  off)  Allow pulp to manage rsync

Note that this behaviour applies to other policies on F27, too. Here's another arbitrary policy that I arbitrarily picked out:

# semanage boolean --modify --on zoneminder_run_sudo
# semanage boolean --list | grep zoneminder_run_sudo
zoneminder_run_sudo            (off  ,   on)  Allow zoneminder to run sudo
# semanage boolean --modify --off zoneminder_run_sudo
# semanage boolean --list | grep zoneminder_run_sudo
zoneminder_run_sudo            (off  ,  off)  Allow zoneminder to run sudo

The docs currently advise using semanage here. Let's tell readers about setsebool too.

This change appears to be intentional. The system journal shows no errors. Here's the output of journalctl --follow for the time period in which semanage boolean --modify --on is executed:
