6 consolekit_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the consolekit
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the consolekit processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The consolekit processes execute with the consolekit_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep consolekit_t
20
21
22
24 The consolekit_t SELinux type can be entered via the consolekit_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the consolekit_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon
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 consolekit policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their con‐
40 solekit processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for consolekit:
43
44 consolekit_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a consolekit_t can be used to make the
47 process type consolekit_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. con‐
54 solekit policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run consolekit with the tightest
56 access possible.

297 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
298 type.
299
300 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
301
302 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
303 SELinux consolekit policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
304 their consolekit processes in as secure a method as possible.
305
306 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
307
308 SELinux defines the file context types for the consolekit, if you
309 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
310 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
311 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
312
313 semanage fcontext -a -t consolekit_var_run_t '/srv/myconsolekit_con‐
314 tent(/.*)?'
315 restorecon -R -v /srv/myconsolekit_content
316
317 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
318 match multiple files.
319
320 The following file types are defined for consolekit:
321
322
323
324 consolekit_exec_t
325
326 - Set files with the consolekit_exec_t type, if you want to transition
327 an executable to the consolekit_t domain.
328
329
330
331 consolekit_log_t
332
333 - Set files with the consolekit_log_t type, if you want to treat the
334 data as consolekit log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
335 tory.
336
337
338
339 consolekit_tmpfs_t
340
341 - Set files with the consolekit_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store con‐
342 solekit files on a tmpfs file system.
343
344
345
346 consolekit_unit_file_t
347
348 - Set files with the consolekit_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
349 the files as consolekit unit content.
350
351
352
353 consolekit_var_run_t
354
355 - Set files with the consolekit_var_run_t type, if you want to store
356 the consolekit files under the /run or /var/run directory.
357
358
359 Paths:
360 /var/run/ConsoleKit(/.*)?, /var/run/consolekit.pid, /var/run/con‐
361 sole-kit-daemon.pid
362
363
364 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
365 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
366 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
367 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
368
369
371 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
372 mappings.
373
374 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
375 process type is permissive.
376
377 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
378 icy modules.
379
380 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
381
382
383 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
384 icy settings.
