NAME

6       logrotate_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the logrotate
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the logrotate  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  logrotate processes execute with the logrotate_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 logrotate_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  logrotate_t  SELinux  type can be entered via the logrotate_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the logrotate_t domain are the follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /etc/cron.(daily|weekly)/sysklogd, /usr/sbin/logrotate
31

PROCESS TYPES

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       logrotate  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their logro‐
40       tate processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for logrotate:
43
44       logrotate_t, logrotate_mail_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a  logrotate_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  logrotate_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy is customizable based on least access required.  logro‐
54       tate policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that  allow
55       you to manipulate the policy and run logrotate with the tightest access
56       possible.

MANAGED FILES

171       The SELinux process type logrotate_t can manage files labeled with  the
172       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
173       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

236       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
237       type.
238
239       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
240
241       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
242       SELinux logrotate policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
243       logrotate processes in as secure a method as possible.
244
245       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
246
247
248       logrotate policy stores data with multiple different file context types
249       under the /var/lib/logrotate directory.  If you would like to store the
250       data  in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
251       ate an equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to store this data under the
252       /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
253
254       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/logrotate /srv/logrotate
255       restorecon -R -v /srv/logrotate
256
257       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
258
259       SELinux defines the file context types for the logrotate, if you wanted
260       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
261       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
262       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
263
264       semanage  fcontext  -a  -t  logrotate_var_lib_t  '/srv/mylogrotate_con‐
265       tent(/.*)?'
266       restorecon -R -v /srv/mylogrotate_content
267
268       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
269       match multiple files.
270
271       The following file types are defined for logrotate:
272
273
274
275       logrotate_exec_t
276
277       - Set files with the logrotate_exec_t type, if you want  to  transition
278       an executable to the logrotate_t domain.
279
280
281       Paths:
282            /etc/cron.(daily|weekly)/sysklogd, /usr/sbin/logrotate
283
284
285       logrotate_lock_t
286
287       -  Set  files  with the logrotate_lock_t type, if you want to treat the
288       files as logrotate lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
289
290
291
292       logrotate_mail_tmp_t
293
294       - Set files with the logrotate_mail_tmp_t type, if you  want  to  store
295       logrotate mail temporary files in the /tmp directories.
296
297
298
299       logrotate_tmp_t
300
301       -  Set files with the logrotate_tmp_t type, if you want to store logro‐
302       tate temporary files in the /tmp directories.
303
304
305
306       logrotate_var_lib_t
307
308       - Set files with the logrotate_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
309       logrotate files under the /var/lib directory.
310
311
312       Paths:
313            /var/lib/logrotate(/.*)?, /var/lib/logrotate.status.*
314
315
316       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
317       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
318       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
319       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
320
321

COMMANDS

323       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
324       mappings.
325
326       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
327       process type is permissive.
328
329       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
330       icy modules.
331
332       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
333
334
335       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
336       icy settings.
