NAME

6       ptchown_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ptchown pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures  the  ptchown  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  ptchown processes execute with the ptchown_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 ptchown_t
20

22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  ptchown_t  SELinux type can be entered via the ptchown_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the ptchown_t domain are  the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/lib/pt_chown, /usr/libexec/pt_chown
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       ptchown  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their ptchown
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for ptchown:
43
44       ptchown_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a ptchown_t can be used to make the  process
47       type  ptchown_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48       process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still  gener‐
49       ated.

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.  ptchown
54       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55       manipulate  the  policy and run ptchown 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

FILE CONTEXTS

68       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
69       type.
70
71       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
72
73       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
74       SELinux  ptchown  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
75       ptchown processes in as secure a method as possible.
76
77       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
78
79       SELinux defines the file context types for the ptchown, if  you  wanted
80       to  store files with these types in a different paths, you need to exe‐
81       cute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling  and  then  use
82       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
83
84       semanage fcontext -a -t ptchown_exec_t '/srv/ptchown/content(/.*)?'
85       restorecon -R -v /srv/myptchown_content
86
87       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
88       match multiple files.
89
90       The following file types are defined for ptchown:
91
92
93
94       ptchown_exec_t
95
96       - Set files with the ptchown_exec_t type, if you want to transition  an
97       executable to the ptchown_t domain.
98
99
100       Paths:
101            /usr/lib/pt_chown, /usr/libexec/pt_chown
102
103
104       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
105       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
106       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
107       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

COMMANDS

111       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
112       mappings.
113
114       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
115       process type is permissive.
116
117       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
118       icy modules.
119
120       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
121
122
123       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
124       icy settings.
