6 readahead_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the readahead
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the readahead processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The readahead processes execute with the readahead_t SELinux type. You
14 can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps com‐
15 mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep readahead_t
20
21
22
24 The readahead_t SELinux type can be entered via the readahead_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the readahead_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /sbin/readahead.*, /usr/sbin/readahead.*
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35
36 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37
38 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 readahead policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their reada‐
40 head processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for readahead:
43
44 readahead_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a readahead_t can be used to make the
47 process type readahead_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. reada‐
54 head policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run readahead with the tightest access
56 possible.

133 The SELinux process type readahead_t can manage files labeled with the
134 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
135 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

238 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
239 type.
240
241 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
242
243 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
244 SELinux readahead policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
245 readahead processes in as secure a method as possible.
246
247 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
248
249 SELinux defines the file context types for the readahead, if you wanted
250 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
251 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
252 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
253
254 semanage fcontext -a -t readahead_var_run_t '/srv/myreadahead_con‐
255 tent(/.*)?'
256 restorecon -R -v /srv/myreadahead_content
257
258 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
259 match multiple files.
260
261 The following file types are defined for readahead:
262
263
264
265 readahead_exec_t
266
267 - Set files with the readahead_exec_t type, if you want to transition
268 an executable to the readahead_t domain.
269
270
271 Paths:
272 /sbin/readahead.*, /usr/sbin/readahead.*
273
274
275 readahead_var_lib_t
276
277 - Set files with the readahead_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
278 readahead files under the /var/lib directory.
279
280
281
282 readahead_var_run_t
283
284 - Set files with the readahead_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
285 readahead files under the /run or /var/run directory.
286
287
288
289 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
290 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
291 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
292 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
293
294
296 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
297 mappings.
298
299 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
300 process type is permissive.
301
302 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
303 icy modules.
304
305 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
306
307
308 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
309 icy settings.
