NAME

6       named_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the named processes
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the named processes via flexible manda‐
10       tory access control.
11
12       The named processes execute with the  named_t  SELinux  type.  You  can
13       check  if  you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14       with the -Z qualifier.
15
16       For example:
17
18       ps -eZ | grep named_t
19
20
21

ENTRYPOINTS

23       The  named_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered  via  the   named_exec_t,
24       named_checkconf_exec_t file types.
25
26       The default entrypoint paths for the named_t domain are the following:
27
28       /usr/sbin/named,  /usr/sbin/lwresd, /usr/sbin/unbound, /usr/sbin/named-
29       sdb, /usr/sbin/named-checkconf

PROCESS TYPES

32       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
33       system
34
35       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
36
37       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
38       named policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their named  pro‐
39       cesses in as secure a method as possible.
40
41       The following process types are defined for named:
42
43       named_t
44
45       Note:  semanage  permissive  -a named_t can be used to make the process
46       type named_t permissive. SELinux does not  deny  access  to  permissive
47       process  types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
48       ated.

50

BOOLEANS

52       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access  required.   named
53       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54       manipulate the policy and run named with the tightest access possible.

MANAGED FILES

167       The SELinux process type named_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
168       lowing  file  types.   The paths listed are the default paths for these
169       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

263       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
264       type.
265
266       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
267
268       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
269       SELinux named policy is very flexible allowing  users  to  setup  their
270       named processes in as secure a method as possible.
271
272       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
273
274
275       named  policy  stores  data  with multiple different file context types
276       under the /var/named directory.  If you would like to store the data in
277       a  different  directory  you  can use the semanage command to create an
278       equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to store this data under  the  /srv
279       dirctory you would execute the following command:
280
281       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/named /srv/named
282       restorecon -R -v /srv/named
283
284       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
285
286       SELinux  defines the file context types for the named, if you wanted to
287       store files with these types in a diffent paths, you  need  to  execute
288       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
289       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
290
291       semanage fcontext -a -t named_zone_t '/srv/mynamed_content(/.*)?'
292       restorecon -R -v /srv/mynamed_content
293
294       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
295       match multiple files.
296
297       The following file types are defined for named:
298
299
300
301       named_cache_t

303       - Set files with the named_cache_t type, if you want to store the files
304       under the /var/cache directory.

405
406
407       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
408       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
409       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
410       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
411
412

COMMANDS

414       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
415       mappings.
416
417       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
418       process type is permissive.
419
420       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
421       icy modules.
422
423       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
424
425
426       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
427       icy settings.
