NAME

6       auditctl_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the auditctl pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the  auditctl  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  auditctl  processes  execute with the auditctl_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 auditctl_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The auditctl_t SELinux type can be entered via the auditctl_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the auditctl_t domain are the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /sbin/auditctl, /usr/sbin/auditctl
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       auditctl policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their auditctl
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for auditctl:
43
44       auditctl_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a auditctl_t can be used to make the process
47       type  auditctl_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.
54       auditctl policy is extremely flexible and  has  several  booleans  that
55       allow  you  to manipulate the policy and run auditctl with the tightest
56       access possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow all daemons the ability to  read/write  terminals,
61       you  must  turn  on  the  allow_daemons_use_tty  boolean.  Disabled  by
62       default.
63
64       setsebool -P allow_daemons_use_tty 1
65
66
67
68       If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
69       you must turn on the allow_domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
70
71       setsebool -P allow_domain_fd_use 1
72
73
74
75       If  you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
76       turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
77
78       setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
79
80
81
82       If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load  modules,  you
83       must  turn  on  the  domain_kernel_load_modules  boolean.  Disabled  by
84       default.
85
86       setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
87
88
89
90       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
91       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
92
93       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
94
95
96
97       If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
98       on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
99
100       setsebool -P global_ssp 1

MANAGED FILES

105       The SELinux process type auditctl_t can manage files labeled  with  the
106       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
107       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
108
109       initrc_tmp_t
110
111
112       mnt_t
113
114            /mnt(/[^/]*)
115            /mnt(/[^/]*)?
116            /rhev(/[^/]*)?
117            /media(/[^/]*)
118            /media(/[^/]*)?
119            /etc/rhgb(/.*)?
120            /media/.hal-.*
121            /net
122            /afs
123            /rhev
124            /misc
125
126       tmp_t
127
128            /tmp
129            /usr/tmp
130            /var/tmp
131            /tmp-inst
132            /var/tmp-inst
133            /var/tmp/vi.recover

FILE CONTEXTS

137       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
138       type.
139
140       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
141
142       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
143       SELinux auditctl policy is very flexible allowing users to setup  their
144       auditctl processes in as secure a method as possible.
145
146       The following file types are defined for auditctl:
147
148
149
150       auditctl_exec_t
151
152       - Set files with the auditctl_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
153       executable to the auditctl_t domain.
154
155
156       Paths:
157            /sbin/auditctl, /usr/sbin/auditctl
158
159
160       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
161       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
162       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
163       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
164
165

COMMANDS

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