6 consolekit_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the consolekit
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the consolekit processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The consolekit processes execute with the consolekit_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 consolekit_t
20
21
22
24 The consolekit_t SELinux type can be entered via the consolekit_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the consolekit_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon
31
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 consolekit policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their con‐
40 solekit processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for consolekit:
43
44 consolekit_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a consolekit_t can be used to make the
47 process type consolekit_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. con‐
54 solekit policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run consolekit with the tightest
56 access possible.

283 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
284 type.
285
286 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
287
288 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
289 SELinux consolekit policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
290 their consolekit processes in as secure a method as possible.
291
292 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
293
294 SELinux defines the file context types for the consolekit, if you
295 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
296 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
297 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
298
299 semanage fcontext -a -t consolekit_var_run_t '/srv/myconsolekit_con‐
300 tent(/.*)?'
301 restorecon -R -v /srv/myconsolekit_content
302
303 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
304 match multiple files.
305
306 The following file types are defined for consolekit:
307
308
309
310 consolekit_exec_t
311
312 - Set files with the consolekit_exec_t type, if you want to transition
313 an executable to the consolekit_t domain.
314
315
316
317 consolekit_log_t
318
319 - Set files with the consolekit_log_t type, if you want to treat the
320 data as consolekit log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
321 tory.
322
323
324
325 consolekit_tmpfs_t
326
327 - Set files with the consolekit_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store con‐
328 solekit files on a tmpfs file system.
329
330
331
332 consolekit_var_run_t
333
334 - Set files with the consolekit_var_run_t type, if you want to store
335 the consolekit files under the /run or /var/run directory.
336
337
338 Paths:
339 /var/run/ConsoleKit(/.*)?, /var/run/consolekit.pid, /var/run/con‐
340 sole-kit-daemon.pid
341
342
343 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
344 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
345 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
346 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
347
348
350 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
351 mappings.
352
353 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
354 process type is permissive.
355
356 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
357 icy modules.
358
359 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
360
361
362 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
363 icy settings.
