setroubleshoot_selinux: Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the setroubleshoot processes

NAME

setroubleshoot_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the setroubleshoot processes

DESCRIPTION

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the setroubleshoot processes via flexible mandatory access control.

NSSWITCH DOMAIN

If you want to allow users to login using a sssd serve for the setroubleshootd_t, setroubleshoot_fixit_t, you must turn on the authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean.

setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1

If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos for the setroubleshootd_t, setroubleshoot_fixit_t, you must turn on the allow_kerberos boolean.

setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1

If you want to allow system to run with NI for the setroubleshootd_t, setroubleshoot_fixit_t, you must turn on the allow_ypbind boolean.

setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1

FILE CONTEXTS

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type.

You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to lsP Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files. SELinux setroubleshoot policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their setroubleshoot processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following file types are defined for setroubleshoot:

setroubleshoot_fixit_exec_t

- Set files with the setroubleshoot_fixit_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the setroubleshoot_fixit_t domain.

setroubleshoot_var_lib_t

- Set files with the setroubleshoot_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the setroubleshoot files under the /var/lib directory.

setroubleshoot_var_log_t

- Set files with the setroubleshoot_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as setroubleshoot var log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.

setroubleshoot_var_run_t

- Set files with the setroubleshoot_var_run_t type, if you want to store the setroubleshoot files under the /run directory.

setroubleshootd_exec_t

- Set files with the setroubleshootd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the setroubleshootd_t domain.

Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command. If you want to permanantly change the file context you need to use the semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling database. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

PROCESS TYPES

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system

You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to psP Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux setroubleshoot policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their setroubleshoot processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following process types are defined for setroubleshoot:

setroubleshoot_fixit_t, setroubleshootd_t

Note: semanage permissive -a PROCESS_TYPE can be used to make a process type permissive. Permissive process types are not denied access by SELinux. AVC messages will still be generated.

COMMANDS

semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context mappings.

semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a process type is permissive.

semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove policy modules.

system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
