NAME

6       newrole_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the newrole pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures  the  newrole  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  newrole processes execute with the newrole_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 newrole_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  newrole_t  SELinux type can be entered via the newrole_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the newrole_t domain are  the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/bin/newrole
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       newrole  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their newrole
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for newrole:
43
44       newrole_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a newrole_t can be used to make the  process
47       type  newrole_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.  newrole
54       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55       manipulate  the  policy and run newrole 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
94
95
96       If you want to enable polyinstantiated directory support, you must turn
97       on the polyinstantiation_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
98
99       setsebool -P polyinstantiation_enabled 1
100
101
102
103       If  you  want to disallow programs, such as newrole, from transitioning
104       to administrative user domains, you must turn on the secure_mode  bool‐
105       ean. Enabled by default.
106
107       setsebool -P secure_mode 1

MANAGED FILES

112       The  SELinux  process  type newrole_t can manage files labeled with the
113       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
114       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
115
116       faillog_t
117
118            /var/log/btmp.*
119            /var/log/faillog.*
120            /var/log/tallylog.*
121            /var/run/faillock(/.*)?

FILE CONTEXTS

153       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
154       type.
155
156       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
157
158       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
159       SELinux  newrole  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
160       newrole processes in as secure a method as possible.
161
162       The following file types are defined for newrole:
163
164
165
166       newrole_exec_t
167
168       - Set files with the newrole_exec_t type, if you want to transition  an
169       executable to the newrole_t domain.
170
171
172
173       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
174       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
175       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
176       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
177
178

COMMANDS

180       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
181       mappings.
182
183       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
184       process type is permissive.
185
186       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
187       icy modules.
188
189       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
190
191
192       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
193       icy settings.
