6 dictd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the dictd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the dictd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11 The dictd processes execute with the dictd_t SELinux type. You can
13 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14 with the -Z qualifier.
15 For example:
17 ps -eZ | grep dictd_t
19
23 The dictd_t SELinux type can be entered via the dictd_exec_t file type.
24 The default entrypoint paths for the dictd_t domain are the following:
26 /usr/sbin/dictd
28
30 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31 system
32 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
36 dictd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their dictd pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38 The following process types are defined for dictd:
40 dictd_t
42 Note: semanage permissive -a dictd_t can be used to make the process
44 type dictd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
45 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46 ated.
47
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. dictd
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run dictd with the tightest access possible.
53 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
57 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
58 setsebool -P fips_mode 1

64 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
65 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
67 command:
68 semanage port -l
70 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
73 SELinux dictd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
74 dictd processes in as secure a method as possible.
75 The following port types are defined for dictd:
77 dict_port_t
80 Default Defined Ports:
84 tcp 2628
85
87 The SELinux process type dictd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
88 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
89 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

132 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
133 type.
134 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
136 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
138 SELinux dictd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
139 dictd processes in as secure a method as possible.
140 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
142 SELinux defines the file context types for the dictd, if you wanted to
144 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
145 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
146 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
147 semanage fcontext -a -t dictd_var_run_t '/srv/mydictd_content(/.*)?'
149 restorecon -R -v /srv/mydictd_content
150 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
152 match multiple files.
153 The following file types are defined for dictd:
155 dictd_etc_t
159 - Set files with the dictd_etc_t type, if you want to store dictd files
161 in the /etc directories.
162 dictd_exec_t
166 - Set files with the dictd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
168 executable to the dictd_t domain.
169 dictd_initrc_exec_t
173 - Set files with the dictd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
175 tion an executable to the dictd_initrc_t domain.
176 dictd_var_lib_t
180 - Set files with the dictd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
182 dictd files under the /var/lib directory.
183 dictd_var_run_t
187 - Set files with the dictd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
189 dictd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
190 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
194 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
195 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
196 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
197
200 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
201 mappings.
202 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
204 process type is permissive.
205 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
207 icy modules.
208 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
210 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
212 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
215 icy settings.
