6 sysstat_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the sysstat pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the sysstat processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 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 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep sysstat_t
20
24 The sysstat_t SELinux type can be entered via the sysstat_exec_t file
25 type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the sysstat_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29 /usr/lib/sa/sa.*, /usr/lib/atsar/atsa.*, /usr/lib/sysstat/sa.*
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 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 The following process types are defined for sysstat:
43 sysstat_t
45 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
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 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 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65 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 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
76 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
77 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
79 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
83 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
84 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
86 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 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
93
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 sysstat_log_t
102 /var/log/sa(/.*)?
104 /opt/sartest(/.*)?
105 /var/log/atsar(/.*)?
106 /var/log/sysstat(/.*)?
107
110 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
111 type.
112 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
114 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 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
120 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 semanage fcontext -a -t sysstat_log_t '/srv/mysysstat_content(/.*)?'
127 restorecon -R -v /srv/mysysstat_content
128 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
130 match multiple files.
131 The following file types are defined for sysstat:
133 sysstat_exec_t
137 - Set files with the sysstat_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
139 executable to the sysstat_t domain.
140 Paths:
143 /usr/lib/sa/sa.*, /usr/lib/atsar/atsa.*, /usr/lib/sysstat/sa.*
144 sysstat_initrc_exec_t
147 - 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 sysstat_log_t
154 - 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 Paths:
160 /var/log/sa(/.*)?, /opt/sartest(/.*)?, /var/log/atsar(/.*)?,
161 /var/log/sysstat(/.*)?
162 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.
168
171 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
172 mappings.
173 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
175 process type is permissive.
176 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
178 icy modules.
179 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
181 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
184 icy settings.
