NAME

6       automount_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the automount
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the automount  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  automount processes execute with the automount_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 automount_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  automount_t  SELinux  type can be entered via the automount_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the automount_t domain are the follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/sbin/automount, /etc/apm/event.d/autofs
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       automount  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their auto‐
40       mount processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for automount:
43
44       automount_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a  automount_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  automount_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.  auto‐
54       mount policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that  allow
55       you to manipulate the policy and run automount with the tightest access
56       possible.

FILE CONTEXTS

233       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
234       type.
235
236       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
237
238       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
239       SELinux automount policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
240       automount processes in as secure a method as possible.
241
242       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
243
244       SELinux defines the file context types for the automount, if you wanted
245       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
246       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
247       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
248
249       semanage  fcontext  -a  -t  automount_var_run_t  '/srv/myautomount_con‐
250       tent(/.*)?'
251       restorecon -R -v /srv/myautomount_content
252
253       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
254       match multiple files.
255
256       The following file types are defined for automount:
257
258
259
260       automount_exec_t
261
262       -  Set  files with the automount_exec_t type, if you want to transition
263       an executable to the automount_t domain.
264
265
266       Paths:
267            /usr/sbin/automount, /etc/apm/event.d/autofs
268
269
270       automount_initrc_exec_t
271
272       - Set files with the automount_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
273       sition an executable to the automount_initrc_t domain.
274
275
276
277       automount_keytab_t
278
279       -  Set files with the automount_keytab_t type, if you want to treat the
280       files as kerberos keytab files.
281
282
283
284       automount_lock_t
285
286       - Set files with the automount_lock_t type, if you want  to  treat  the
287       files as automount lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
288
289
290
291       automount_tmp_t
292
293       -  Set  files with the automount_tmp_t type, if you want to store auto‐
294       mount temporary files in the /tmp directories.
295
296
297
298       automount_var_run_t
299
300       - Set files with the automount_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
301       automount files under the /run or /var/run directory.
302
303
304
305       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
306       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
307       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
308       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
309
310

COMMANDS

312       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
313       mappings.
314
315       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
316       process type is permissive.
317
318       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
319       icy modules.
320
321       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
322
323
324       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
325       icy settings.
