Resetting the Trust Database

You can reset the trust database by stopping the fapolicyd service and deleting the database. This can help debug issues in fapolicyd.

First, stop the fapolicyd service:

sudo systemctl stop fapolicyd

Then delete the database:

sudo fapolicyd-cli --delete-db

The trust database is removed entirely and then created and updated when you next start the fapolicyd service.

Caution:

Never remove the /var/lib/fapolicyd/ directory directly as this might prevent fapolicyd from functioning correctly and cause system lockout.
