6 gconfdefaultsm_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 gconfdefaultsm processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the gconfdefaultsm processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12 The gconfdefaultsm processes execute with the gconfdefaultsm_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep gconfdefaultsm_t
20
24 The gconfdefaultsm_t SELinux type can be entered via the gconfde‐
25 faultsm_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the gconfdefaultsm_t domain are the
28 following:
29 /usr/libexec/gconf-defaults-mechanism
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 gconfdefaultsm policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 gconfdefaultsm processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for gconfdefaultsm:
43 gconfdefaultsm_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a gconfdefaultsm_t can be used to make the
47 process type gconfdefaultsm_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 gconfdefaultsm policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans
55 that allow you to manipulate the policy and run gconfdefaultsm with the
56 tightest access possible.
57 If you want to allow all daemons the ability to read/write terminals,
61 you must turn on the allow_daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by
62 default.
63 setsebool -P allow_daemons_use_tty 1
65 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
69 you must turn on the allow_domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
70 setsebool -P allow_domain_fd_use 1
72 If you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
76 turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
77 setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
79 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
83 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
84 default.
85 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
87 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
91 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
92 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
94 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
98 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
99 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
101 If you want to support NFS home directories, you must turn on the
105 use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
106 setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
108 If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the
112 use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
113 setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1
115
119 The SELinux process type gconfdefaultsm_t can manage files labeled with
120 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
121 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
122 missions.
123 cifs_t
125 gconf_etc_t
128 /etc/gconf(/.*)?
130 gconf_home_t
132 /root/.local.*
134 /root/.gconf(d)?(/.*)?
135 /home/[^/]*/.local.*
136 /home/[^/]*/.gconf(d)?(/.*)?
137 /home/staff/.local.*
138 /home/staff/.gconf(d)?(/.*)?
139 initrc_tmp_t
141 mnt_t
144 /mnt(/[^/]*)
146 /mnt(/[^/]*)?
147 /rhev(/[^/]*)?
148 /media(/[^/]*)
149 /media(/[^/]*)?
150 /etc/rhgb(/.*)?
151 /media/.hal-.*

171 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
172 type.
173 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
175 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
177 SELinux gconfdefaultsm policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
178 their gconfdefaultsm processes in as secure a method as possible.
179 The following file types are defined for gconfdefaultsm:
181 gconfdefaultsm_exec_t
185 - Set files with the gconfdefaultsm_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
187 tion an executable to the gconfdefaultsm_t domain.
188 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
192 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
193 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
194 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
195
198 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
199 mappings.
200 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
202 process type is permissive.
203 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
205 icy modules.
206 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
208 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
211 icy settings.
