NAME

6       sysstat_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the sysstat pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures  the  sysstat  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  sysstat processes execute with the sysstat_t SELinux type. You can
14       check if you have these processes running by executing the  ps  command
15       with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep sysstat_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  sysstat_t  SELinux type can be entered via the sysstat_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the sysstat_t domain are  the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/lib/sa/sa.*, /usr/lib/atsar/atsa.*, /usr/lib/sysstat/sa.*
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       sysstat  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their sysstat
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for sysstat:
43
44       sysstat_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a sysstat_t can be used to make the  process
47       type  sysstat_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48       process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still  gener‐
49       ated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.  sysstat
54       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55       manipulate  the  policy and run sysstat with the tightest access possi‐
56       ble.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
61       ldap  rather  then  using  a  sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
62       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.

81
82
83       If  you  want  to  allow  any  process  to mmap any file on system with
84       attribute file_type, you must turn on the  domain_can_mmap_files  bool‐
85       ean. Enabled by default.

107       must  turn  on  the  domain_kernel_load_modules  boolean.  Disabled  by
108       default.

MANAGED FILES

150       The  SELinux  process  type sysstat_t can manage files labeled with the
151       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
152       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
153
154       sysstat_log_t
155
156            /var/log/sa(/.*)?
157            /opt/sartest(/.*)?
158            /var/log/atsar(/.*)?
159            /var/log/sysstat(/.*)?
160
161

FILE CONTEXTS

163       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
164       type.
165
166       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
167
168       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
169       SELinux  sysstat  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
170       sysstat processes in as secure a method as possible.
171
172       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
173
174       SELinux defines the file context types for the sysstat, if  you  wanted
175       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
176       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
177       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
178
179       semanage fcontext -a -t sysstat_log_t '/srv/mysysstat_content(/.*)?'
180       restorecon -R -v /srv/mysysstat_content
181
182       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
183       match multiple files.
184
185       The following file types are defined for sysstat:
186
187
188
189       sysstat_exec_t
190
191       - Set files with the sysstat_exec_t type, if you want to transition  an
192       executable to the sysstat_t domain.
193
194
195       Paths:
196            /usr/lib/sa/sa.*, /usr/lib/atsar/atsa.*, /usr/lib/sysstat/sa.*
197
198
199       sysstat_initrc_exec_t
200
201       - Set files with the sysstat_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
202       tion an executable to the sysstat_initrc_t domain.
203
204
205
206       sysstat_log_t
207
208       - Set files with the sysstat_log_t type, if you want to treat the  data
209       as sysstat log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
210
211
212       Paths:
213            /var/log/sa(/.*)?,    /opt/sartest(/.*)?,    /var/log/atsar(/.*)?,
214            /var/log/sysstat(/.*)?
215
216
217       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
218       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
219       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
220       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
221
222

COMMANDS

224       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
225       mappings.
226
227       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
228       process type is permissive.
229
230       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
231       icy modules.
232
233       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
234
235
236       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
237       icy settings.
