NAME

6       logrotate_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the logrotate
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the logrotate  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  logrotate processes execute with the logrotate_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 logrotate_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  logrotate_t  SELinux  type can be entered via the logrotate_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the logrotate_t domain are the follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /etc/cron.(daily|weekly)/sysklogd, /usr/sbin/logrotate
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       logrotate  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their logro‐
40       tate processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for logrotate:
43
44       logrotate_t, logrotate_mail_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a  logrotate_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  logrotate_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy is customizable based on least access required.  logro‐
54       tate policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that  allow
55       you to manipulate the policy and run logrotate with the tightest access
56       possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow logrotate to read logs inside, you  must  turn  on
61       the logrotate_read_inside_containers boolean. Disabled by default.
62
63       setsebool -P logrotate_read_inside_containers 1
64
65
66
67       If  you  want  to allow logrotate domain to manage fuse files, you must
68       turn on the logrotate_use_fusefs boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P logrotate_use_fusefs 1
71
72
73
74       If you want to allow logrotate to manage nfs files, you  must  turn  on

76
77       setsebool -P logrotate_use_nfs 1
78
79
80
81       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
82       ldap rather then using a sssd server, you  must  turn  on  the  authlo‐
83       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
84
85       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
86
87
88
89       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
90       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
91
92       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
93
94
95
96       If you want to allow confined applications to run  with  kerberos,  you
97       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.

99       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
100
101
102
103       If  you  want  to  allow  system  to run with NIS, you must turn on the
104       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
105
106       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
107
108
109
110       If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd  shared  memory,
111       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
112
113       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
114
115
116
117       If  you  want  to  support  NFS  home directories, you must turn on the
118       use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
119
120       setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
121
122
123
124       If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you  must  turn  on  the
125       use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.

MANAGED FILES

132       The  SELinux process type logrotate_t can manage files labeled with the
133       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
134       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

268       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
269       type.
270
271       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
272
273       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
274       SELinux logrotate policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
275       logrotate processes in as secure a method as possible.
276
277       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
278
279
280       logrotate policy stores data with multiple different file context types
281       under the /var/lib/logrotate directory.  If you would like to store the
282       data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to  cre‐
283       ate an equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to store this data under the
284       /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
285
286       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/logrotate /srv/logrotate
287       restorecon -R -v /srv/logrotate
288
289       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
290
291       SELinux defines the file context types for the logrotate, if you wanted
292       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
293       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
294       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
295
296       semanage  fcontext  -a  -t  logrotate_mail_tmp_t '/srv/mylogrotate_con‐
297       tent(/.*)?'
298       restorecon -R -v /srv/mylogrotate_content
299
300       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
301       match multiple files.
302
303       The following file types are defined for logrotate:
304
305
306
307       logrotate_exec_t
308
309       -  Set  files with the logrotate_exec_t type, if you want to transition
310       an executable to the logrotate_t domain.
311
312
313       Paths:
314            /etc/cron.(daily|weekly)/sysklogd, /usr/sbin/logrotate
315
316
317       logrotate_lock_t
318
319       - Set files with the logrotate_lock_t type, if you want  to  treat  the
320       files as logrotate lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
321
322
323
324       logrotate_mail_tmp_t
325
326       -  Set  files  with the logrotate_mail_tmp_t type, if you want to store
327       logrotate mail temporary files in the /tmp directories.
328
329
330
331       logrotate_tmp_t
332
333       - Set files with the logrotate_tmp_t type, if you want to store  logro‐
334       tate temporary files in the /tmp directories.
335
336
337
338       logrotate_var_lib_t
339
340       - Set files with the logrotate_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
341       logrotate files under the /var/lib directory.
342
343
344       Paths:
345            /var/lib/logrotate(/.*)?, /var/lib/logrotate.status.*
346
347
348       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
349       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
350       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
351       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
352
353

COMMANDS

355       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
356       mappings.
357
358       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
359       process type is permissive.
360
361       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
362       icy modules.
363
364       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
365
366
367       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
368       icy settings.
