How do you determine what operating system is running on the Passive Capture machine (PCM)?

To determine what operating system your Passive Capture Machine (PCM) is running run the following command at the command line:

???? uname -a

The output is similar to:

SuSE Linux records its version/release information in the file /etc/SuSE-release. Run the following command at the command line to read it:

If the security-enhanced Linux option (SELinux) is installed the /etc/selinux/config file contains its boot-time settings:

???? cat /etc/selinux/config

The output is similar to:

# SELINUX= can take one of these three values:
# enforcing - SELinux security policy is enforced.
# permissive - SELinux prints warnings instead of enforcing.
# disabled - SELinux is fully disabled.
SELINUX=disabled
# SELINUXTYPE= type of policy in use. Possible values are:
# targeted - Only targeted network daemons are protected.
