NAME

6       newrole_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the newrole pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures  the  newrole  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  newrole processes execute with the newrole_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 newrole_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  newrole_t  SELinux type can be entered via the newrole_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the newrole_t domain are  the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/bin/newrole
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       newrole  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their newrole
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for newrole:
43
44       newrole_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a newrole_t can be used to make the  process
47       type  newrole_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.  newrole
54       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55       manipulate  the  policy and run newrole 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 confined applications to run with kerberos, you
68       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
71
72
73
74       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
75       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
76
77       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
78
79
80
81       If you want to enable polyinstantiated directory support, you must turn
82       on the polyinstantiation_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
83
84       setsebool -P polyinstantiation_enabled 1
85
86
87
88       If you want to disallow programs, such as newrole,  from  transitioning
89       to  administrative user domains, you must turn on the secure_mode bool‐
90       ean. Disabled by default.
91
92       setsebool -P secure_mode 1

MANAGED FILES

97       The SELinux process type newrole_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.

FILE CONTEXTS

139       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
140       type.
141
142       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
143
144       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
145       SELinux newrole policy is very flexible allowing users to  setup  their
146       newrole processes in as secure a method as possible.
147
148       The following file types are defined for newrole:
149
150
151
152       newrole_exec_t
153
154       -  Set files with the newrole_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
155       executable to the newrole_t domain.
156
157
158
159       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
160       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
161       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
162       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
163
164

COMMANDS

166       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
167       mappings.
168
169       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
170       process type is permissive.
171
172       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
173       icy modules.
174
175       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
176
177
178       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
179       icy settings.
