NAME

6       logwatch_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the logwatch pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the  logwatch  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  logwatch  processes  execute with the logwatch_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 logwatch_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The logwatch_t SELinux type can be entered via the logwatch_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the logwatch_t domain are the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/sbin/epylog,       /usr/sbin/logcheck,      /usr/sbin/logwatch.pl,
31       /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl
32

PROCESS TYPES

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       logwatch policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their logwatch
41       processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43       The following process types are defined for logwatch:
44
45       logwatch_t, logwatch_mail_t
46
47       Note: semanage permissive -a logwatch_t can be used to make the process
48       type logwatch_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to  permissive
49       process  types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
50       ated.
51
52

BOOLEANS

54       SELinux policy is customizable based on least  access  required.   log‐
55       watch  policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
56       you to manipulate the policy and run logwatch with the tightest  access
57       possible.
58
59
60
61       If  you want to determine whether logwatch can connect to mail over the
62       network, you must turn on the  logwatch_can_network_connect_mail  bool‐
63       ean. Disabled by default.
64
65       setsebool -P logwatch_can_network_connect_mail 1
66
67
68
69       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
70       ldap rather then using a sssd server, you  must  turn  on  the  authlo‐
71       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
72
73       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
74
75
76
77       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
78       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
79
80       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
81
82
83
84       If you want to allow confined applications to run  with  kerberos,  you
85       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
86
87       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
88
89
90
91       If  you  want  to  allow  system  to run with NIS, you must turn on the
92       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
93
94       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
95
96
97
98       If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd  shared  memory,
99       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
100
101       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
102
103
104
105       If  you  want  to  support  NFS  home directories, you must turn on the
106       use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
107
108       setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
109
110
111
112       If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you  must  turn  on  the
113       use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
114
115       setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1
116
117
118

MANAGED FILES

120       The  SELinux  process type logwatch_t can manage files labeled with the
121       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
122       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
123

FILE CONTEXTS

178       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
179       type.
180
181       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
182
183       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
184       SELinux  logwatch policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
185       logwatch processes in as secure a method as possible.
186
187       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
188
189       SELinux defines the file context types for the logwatch, if you  wanted
190       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
191       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
192       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
193
194       semanage   fcontext  -a  -t  logwatch_mail_tmp_t  '/srv/mylogwatch_con‐
195       tent(/.*)?'
196       restorecon -R -v /srv/mylogwatch_content
197
198       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
199       match multiple files.
200
201       The following file types are defined for logwatch:
202
203
204
205       logwatch_cache_t
206
207       -  Set  files  with the logwatch_cache_t type, if you want to store the
208       files under the /var/cache directory.
209
210
211       Paths:
212            /var/lib/epylog(/.*)?,  /var/lib/logcheck(/.*)?,   /var/cache/log‐
213            watch(/.*)?
214
215
216       logwatch_exec_t
217
218       - Set files with the logwatch_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
219       executable to the logwatch_t domain.
220
221
222       Paths:
223            /usr/sbin/epylog,    /usr/sbin/logcheck,    /usr/sbin/logwatch.pl,
224            /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl
225
226
227       logwatch_lock_t
228
229       -  Set  files  with  the logwatch_lock_t type, if you want to treat the
230       files as logwatch lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
231
232
233
234       logwatch_mail_tmp_t
235
236       - Set files with the logwatch_mail_tmp_t type, if  you  want  to  store
237       logwatch mail temporary files in the /tmp directories.
238
239
240
241       logwatch_tmp_t
242
243       - Set files with the logwatch_tmp_t type, if you want to store logwatch
244       temporary files in the /tmp directories.
245
246
247
248       logwatch_var_run_t
249
250       - Set files with the logwatch_var_run_t type, if you want to store  the
251       logwatch files under the /run or /var/run directory.
252
253
254
255       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
256       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
257       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
258       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
259
260

COMMANDS

262       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
263       mappings.
264
265       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
266       process type is permissive.
267
268       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
269       icy modules.
270
271       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
272
273
274       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
275       icy settings.
