NAME

6       checkpolicy_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the checkpol‐
7       icy processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the checkpolicy processes via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  checkpolicy processes execute with the checkpolicy_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 checkpolicy_t

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  checkpolicy_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered  via  the checkpol‐
25       icy_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the checkpolicy_t domain are the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /usr/bin/checkpolicy
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       checkpolicy  policy  is  very  flexible  allowing  users to setup their
40       checkpolicy processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for checkpolicy:
43
44       checkpolicy_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a checkpolicy_t can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type checkpolicy_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.  check‐
54       policy policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55       you  to  manipulate  the  policy  and run checkpolicy with the tightest
56       access 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 checkpolicy_t can manage  files  labeled  with
98       the  following  file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for
99       these file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have  DAC  per‐
100       missions.
101
102       initrc_tmp_t
103
104
105       mnt_t
106
107            /mnt(/[^/]*)
108            /mnt(/[^/]*)?
109            /rhev(/[^/]*)?
110            /media(/[^/]*)
111            /media(/[^/]*)?
112            /etc/rhgb(/.*)?
113            /media/.hal-.*
114            /net
115            /afs
116            /rhev
117            /misc
118
119       semanage_store_t
120
121            /etc/selinux/([^/]*/)?policy(/.*)?
122            /etc/selinux/([^/]*/)?modules/(active|tmp|previous)(/.*)?
123            /etc/share/selinux/mls(/.*)?
124            /etc/share/selinux/targeted(/.*)?
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  checkpolicy  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to setup
144       their checkpolicy processes in as secure a method as possible.
145
146       The following file types are defined for checkpolicy:
147
148
149
150       checkpolicy_exec_t
151
152       - Set files with the checkpolicy_exec_t type, if you want to transition
153       an executable to the checkpolicy_t domain.
154
155
156
157       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
158       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
159       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
160       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
161
162

COMMANDS

164       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
165       mappings.
166
167       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
168       process type is permissive.
169
170       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
171       icy modules.
172
173       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
174
175
176       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
177       icy settings.
