NAME

6       namespace_init_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the names‐
7       pace_init processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the namespace_init processes via flexi‐
11       ble mandatory access control.
12
13       The  namespace_init processes execute with the namespace_init_t SELinux
14       type. You can check if you have these processes  running  by  executing
15       the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep namespace_init_t

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  namespace_init_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered  via  the names‐
25       pace_init_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the namespace_init_t  domain  are  the
28       following:
29
30       /etc/security/namespace.init, /etc/security/namespace.d(/.*)?
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       namespace_init  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to setup their
40       namespace_init processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for namespace_init:
43
44       namespace_init_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a namespace_init_t can be used to  make  the
47       process  type namespace_init_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48       to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49       still generated.

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy is customizable based on least access required.  names‐
54       pace_init policy is extremely flexible and has  several  booleans  that
55       allow  you  to  manipulate  the  policy and run namespace_init with the
56       tightest access possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
61       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
62
63       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
64
65
66
67       If you want to enable polyinstantiated directory support, you must turn
68       on the polyinstantiation_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P polyinstantiation_enabled 1

MANAGED FILES

75       The SELinux process type namespace_init_t can manage files labeled with
76       the  following  file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for
77       these file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have  DAC  per‐
78       missions.
79
80       security_t
81
82            /selinux
83
84       user_home_type
85
86            all user home files

FILE CONTEXTS

90       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
91       type.
92
93       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
94
95       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
96       SELinux  namespace_init policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
97       their namespace_init processes in as secure a method as possible.
98
99       The following file types are defined for namespace_init:
100
101
102
103       namespace_init_exec_t
104
105       - Set files with the namespace_init_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
106       tion an executable to the namespace_init_t domain.
107
108
109       Paths:
110            /etc/security/namespace.init, /etc/security/namespace.d(/.*)?
111
112
113       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
114       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
115       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
116       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

118

COMMANDS

120       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
121       mappings.
122
123       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
124       process type is permissive.
125
126       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
127       icy modules.
128
129       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
130
131
132       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
133       icy settings.
