6 systemd_passwd_agent_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 systemd_passwd_agent processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the systemd_passwd_agent processes via
11 flexible mandatory access control.
12
13 The systemd_passwd_agent processes execute with the sys‐
14 temd_passwd_agent_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these pro‐
15 cesses running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep systemd_passwd_agent_t
20
21
22
24 The systemd_passwd_agent_t SELinux type can be entered via the sys‐
25 temd_passwd_agent_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the systemd_passwd_agent_t domain are
28 the following:
29
30 /bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent, /usr/bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-
31 agent, /usr/bin/systemd-gnome-ask-password-agent
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36
37 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 systemd_passwd_agent policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
41 their systemd_passwd_agent processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for systemd_passwd_agent:
44
45 systemd_passwd_agent_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a systemd_passwd_agent_t can be used to make
48 the process type systemd_passwd_agent_t permissive. SELinux does not
49 deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials)
50 messages are still generated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. sys‐
55 temd_passwd_agent policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans
56 that allow you to manipulate the policy and run systemd_passwd_agent
57 with the tightest access possible.

227 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
228 type.
229
230 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
231
232 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
233 SELinux systemd_passwd_agent policy is very flexible allowing users to
234 setup their systemd_passwd_agent processes in as secure a method as
235 possible.
236
237 The following file types are defined for systemd_passwd_agent:
238
239
240
241 systemd_passwd_agent_exec_t
242
243 - Set files with the systemd_passwd_agent_exec_t type, if you want to
244 transition an executable to the systemd_passwd_agent_t domain.
245
246
247 Paths:
248 /bin/systemd-tty-ask-password-agent, /usr/bin/systemd-tty-ask-
249 password-agent, /usr/bin/systemd-gnome-ask-password-agent
250
251
252 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
253 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
254 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
255 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
256
257
259 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
260 mappings.
261
262 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
263 process type is permissive.
264
265 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
266 icy modules.
267
268 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
269
270
271 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
272 icy settings.
