NAME

6       cifs_helper_selinux   -   Security   Enhanced   Linux  Policy  for  the
7       cifs_helper processes
8

DESCRIPTION

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

22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The    cifs_helper_t    SELinux   type   can   be   entered   via   the
25       cifs_helper_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the cifs_helper_t domain are the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /usr/sbin/cifs.idmap, /usr/sbin/cifs.upcall
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       cifs_helper  policy  is  very  flexible  allowing  users to setup their
40       cifs_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for cifs_helper:
43
44       cifs_helper_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a cifs_helper_t can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type cifs_helper_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux   policy  is  customizable  based  on  least  access  required.
54       cifs_helper policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that
55       allow  you to manipulate the policy and run cifs_helper with the tight‐
56       est access possible.
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  cifs_helper  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to setup
75       their cifs_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
76
77       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
78
79       SELinux defines the file context types  for  the  cifs_helper,  if  you
80       wanted  to  store files with these types in a different paths, you need
81       to execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and  then
82       use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
83
84       semanage   fcontext  -a  -t  cifs_helper_exec_t  '/srv/cifs_helper/con‐
85       tent(/.*)?'
86       restorecon -R -v /srv/mycifs_helper_content
87
88       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
89       match multiple files.
90
91       The following file types are defined for cifs_helper:
92
93
94
95       cifs_helper_exec_t
96
97       - Set files with the cifs_helper_exec_t type, if you want to transition
98       an executable to the cifs_helper_t domain.
99
100
101       Paths:
102            /usr/sbin/cifs.idmap, /usr/sbin/cifs.upcall
103
104
105       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
106       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
107       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
108       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

COMMANDS

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