NAME

6       certwatch_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the certwatch
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the certwatch  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  certwatch processes execute with the certwatch_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 certwatch_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

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

MANAGED FILES

97       The SELinux process type certwatch_t can manage files labeled with  the
98       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
99       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
100
101       auth_cache_t
102
103            /var/cache/coolkey(/.*)?
104
105       initrc_tmp_t
106
107
108       mnt_t
109
110            /mnt(/[^/]*)
111            /mnt(/[^/]*)?
112            /rhev(/[^/]*)?
113            /media(/[^/]*)
114            /media(/[^/]*)?
115            /etc/rhgb(/.*)?
116            /media/.hal-.*
117            /net
118            /afs
119            /rhev
120            /misc
121
122       tmp_t
123
124            /tmp
125            /usr/tmp
126            /var/tmp
127            /tmp-inst
128            /var/tmp-inst
129            /var/tmp/vi.recover

FILE CONTEXTS

133       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
134       type.
135
136       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
137
138       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
139       SELinux certwatch policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
140       certwatch processes in as secure a method as possible.
141
142       The following file types are defined for certwatch:
143
144
145
146       certwatch_exec_t
147
148       -  Set  files with the certwatch_exec_t type, if you want to transition
149       an executable to the certwatch_t domain.
150
151
152
153       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
154       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
155       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
156       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
157
158

COMMANDS

160       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
161       mappings.
162
163       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
164       process type is permissive.
165
166       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
167       icy modules.
168
169       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
170
171
172       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
173       icy settings.
