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 all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
61       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64
65
66
67       If  you  want  to  allow  system  to run with NIS, you must turn on the
68       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
71
72
73

MANAGED FILES

75       The SELinux process type sysstat_t can manage files  labeled  with  the
76       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
77       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
78
79       sysstat_log_t
80
81            /var/log/sa(/.*)?
82            /opt/sartest(/.*)?
83            /var/log/atsar(/.*)?
84            /var/log/sysstat(/.*)?
85
86

FILE CONTEXTS

88       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
89       type.
90
91       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
92
93       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
94       SELinux sysstat policy is very flexible allowing users to  setup  their
95       sysstat processes in as secure a method as possible.
96
97       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
98
99       SELinux  defines  the file context types for the sysstat, if you wanted
100       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
101       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
102       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
103
104       semanage fcontext -a -t sysstat_log_t '/srv/mysysstat_content(/.*)?'
105       restorecon -R -v /srv/mysysstat_content
106
107       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
108       match multiple files.
109
110       The following file types are defined for sysstat:
111
112
113
114       sysstat_exec_t
115
116       -  Set files with the sysstat_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
117       executable to the sysstat_t domain.
118
119
120       Paths:
121            /usr/lib/sa/sa.*, /usr/lib/atsar/atsa.*, /usr/lib/sysstat/sa.*
122
123
124       sysstat_initrc_exec_t
125
126       - Set files with the sysstat_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
127       tion an executable to the sysstat_initrc_t domain.
128
129
130
131       sysstat_log_t
132
133       -  Set files with the sysstat_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
134       as sysstat log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
135
136
137       Paths:
138            /var/log/sa(/.*)?,    /opt/sartest(/.*)?,    /var/log/atsar(/.*)?,
139            /var/log/sysstat(/.*)?
140
141
142       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
143       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
144       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
145       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
146
147

COMMANDS

149       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
150       mappings.
151
152       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
153       process type is permissive.
154
155       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
156       icy modules.
157
158       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
159
160
161       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
162       icy settings.
