NAME

6       logwatch_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the logwatch pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the  logwatch  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  logwatch  processes  execute with the logwatch_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 logwatch_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The logwatch_t SELinux type can be entered via the logwatch_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the logwatch_t domain are the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/sbin/epylog,       /usr/sbin/logcheck,      /usr/sbin/logwatch.pl,
31       /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl
32

PROCESS TYPES

34       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35       system
36
37       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
40       logwatch policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their logwatch
41       processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43       The following process types are defined for logwatch:
44
45       logwatch_t, logwatch_mail_t
46
47       Note: semanage permissive -a logwatch_t can be used to make the process
48       type logwatch_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to  permissive
49       process  types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
50       ated.
51
52

BOOLEANS

54       SELinux policy is customizable based on least  access  required.   log‐
55       watch  policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
56       you to manipulate the policy and run logwatch with the tightest  access
57       possible.
58
59
60
61       If  you want to determine whether logwatch can connect to mail over the
62       network, you must turn on the  logwatch_can_network_connect_mail  bool‐
63       ean. Disabled by default.
64
65       setsebool -P logwatch_can_network_connect_mail 1
66
67
68
69       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
70       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
71
72       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
73
74
75
76       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
77       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
78
79       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
80
81
82
83       If  you  want  to  support  NFS  home directories, you must turn on the
84       use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Enabled by default.
85
86       setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
87
88
89
90       If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you  must  turn  on  the
91       use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
92
93       setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1

MANAGED FILES

98       The  SELinux  process type logwatch_t can manage files labeled with the
99       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
100       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
101

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  logwatch policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
160       logwatch processes in as secure a method as possible.
161
162       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
163
164       SELinux defines the file context types for the logwatch, if you  wanted
165       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
166       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
167       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
168
169       semanage   fcontext  -a  -t  logwatch_mail_tmp_t  '/srv/mylogwatch_con‐
170       tent(/.*)?'
171       restorecon -R -v /srv/mylogwatch_content
172
173       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
174       match multiple files.
175
176       The following file types are defined for logwatch:
177
178
179
180       logwatch_cache_t
181
182       -  Set  files  with the logwatch_cache_t type, if you want to store the
183       files under the /var/cache directory.
184
185
186       Paths:
187            /var/lib/epylog(/.*)?,  /var/lib/logcheck(/.*)?,   /var/cache/log‐
188            watch(/.*)?
189
190
191       logwatch_exec_t
192
193       - Set files with the logwatch_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
194       executable to the logwatch_t domain.
195
196
197       Paths:
198            /usr/sbin/epylog,    /usr/sbin/logcheck,    /usr/sbin/logwatch.pl,
199            /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl
200
201
202       logwatch_lock_t
203
204       -  Set  files  with  the logwatch_lock_t type, if you want to treat the
205       files as logwatch lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
206
207
208
209       logwatch_mail_tmp_t
210
211       - Set files with the logwatch_mail_tmp_t type, if  you  want  to  store
212       logwatch mail temporary files in the /tmp directories.
213
214
215
216       logwatch_tmp_t
217
218       - Set files with the logwatch_tmp_t type, if you want to store logwatch
219       temporary files in the /tmp directories.
220
221
222
223       logwatch_var_run_t
224
225       - Set files with the logwatch_var_run_t type, if you want to store  the
226       logwatch files under the /run or /var/run directory.
227
228
229
230       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
231       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
232       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
233       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
234
235

COMMANDS

237       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
238       mappings.
239
240       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
241       process type is permissive.
242
243       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
244       icy modules.
245
246       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
247
248
249       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
250       icy settings.
