NAME

6       logrotate_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the logrotate
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the logrotate  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  logrotate processes execute with the logrotate_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 logrotate_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  logrotate_t  SELinux  type can be entered via the logrotate_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the logrotate_t domain are the follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /etc/cron.(daily|weekly)/sysklogd, /usr/sbin/logrotate
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       logrotate  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their logro‐
40       tate processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for logrotate:
43
44       logrotate_t, logrotate_mail_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a  logrotate_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  logrotate_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy is customizable based on least access required.  logro‐
54       tate policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that  allow
55       you to manipulate the policy and run logrotate with the tightest access
56       possible.

MANAGED FILES

125       The SELinux process type logrotate_t can manage files labeled with  the
126       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
127       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

245       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
246       type.
247
248       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
249
250       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
251       SELinux logrotate policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
252       logrotate processes in as secure a method as possible.
253
254       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
255
256
257       logrotate policy stores data with multiple different file context types
258       under the /var/lib/logrotate directory.  If you would like to store the
259       data  in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
260       ate an equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to store this data under the
261       /srv directory you would execute the following command:
262
263       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/logrotate /srv/logrotate
264       restorecon -R -v /srv/logrotate
265
266       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
267
268       SELinux defines the file context types for the logrotate, if you wanted
269       to store files with these types in a different paths, you need to  exe‐
270       cute  the  semanage  command to specify alternate labeling and then use
271       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
272
273       semanage fcontext -a -t logrotate_exec_t '/srv/logrotate/content(/.*)?'
274       restorecon -R -v /srv/mylogrotate_content
275
276       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
277       match multiple files.
278
279       The following file types are defined for logrotate:
280
281
282
283       logrotate_exec_t
284
285       -  Set  files with the logrotate_exec_t type, if you want to transition
286       an executable to the logrotate_t domain.
287
288
289       Paths:
290            /etc/cron.(daily|weekly)/sysklogd, /usr/sbin/logrotate
291
292
293       logrotate_lock_t
294
295       - Set files with the logrotate_lock_t type, if you want  to  treat  the
296       files as logrotate lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
297
298
299
300       logrotate_mail_tmp_t
301
302       -  Set  files  with the logrotate_mail_tmp_t type, if you want to store
303       logrotate mail temporary files in the /tmp directories.
304
305
306
307       logrotate_tmp_t
308
309       - Set files with the logrotate_tmp_t type, if you want to store  logro‐
310       tate temporary files in the /tmp directories.
311
312
313
314       logrotate_var_lib_t
315
316       - Set files with the logrotate_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
317       logrotate files under the /var/lib directory.
318
319
320       Paths:
321            /var/lib/logrotate(/.*)?, /var/lib/logrotate.status.*
322
323
324       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
325       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
326       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
327       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
328
329

COMMANDS

331       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
332       mappings.
333
334       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
335       process type is permissive.
336
337       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
338       icy modules.
339
340       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
341
342
343       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
344       icy settings.
