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.
63
64       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65
66
67
68       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
69       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
70
71       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72
73
74
75       If  you  want  to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
76       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
77
78       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
79
80
81
82       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
83       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
84
85       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
86
87
88
89       If  you  want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
90       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
91
92       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
93

MANAGED FILES

97       The SELinux process type sysstat_t can manage files  labeled  with  the
98       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
99       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
100
101       sysstat_log_t
102
103            /var/log/sa(/.*)?
104            /opt/sartest(/.*)?
105            /var/log/atsar(/.*)?
106            /var/log/sysstat(/.*)?
107
108

FILE CONTEXTS

110       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
111       type.
112
113       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
114
115       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
116       SELinux sysstat policy is very flexible allowing users to  setup  their
117       sysstat processes in as secure a method as possible.
118
119       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
120
121       SELinux  defines  the file context types for the sysstat, if you wanted
122       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
123       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
124       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
125
126       semanage fcontext -a -t sysstat_log_t '/srv/mysysstat_content(/.*)?'
127       restorecon -R -v /srv/mysysstat_content
128
129       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
130       match multiple files.
131
132       The following file types are defined for sysstat:
133
134
135
136       sysstat_exec_t
137
138       -  Set files with the sysstat_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
139       executable to the sysstat_t domain.
140
141
142       Paths:
143            /usr/lib/sa/sa.*, /usr/lib/atsar/atsa.*, /usr/lib/sysstat/sa.*
144
145
146       sysstat_initrc_exec_t
147
148       - Set files with the sysstat_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
149       tion an executable to the sysstat_initrc_t domain.
150
151
152
153       sysstat_log_t
154
155       -  Set files with the sysstat_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
156       as sysstat log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
157
158
159       Paths:
160            /var/log/sa(/.*)?,    /opt/sartest(/.*)?,    /var/log/atsar(/.*)?,
161            /var/log/sysstat(/.*)?
162
163
164       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
165       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
166       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
167       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

COMMANDS

171       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
172       mappings.
173
174       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
175       process type is permissive.
176
177       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
178       icy modules.
179
180       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
181
182
183       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
184       icy settings.
