NAME

6       hotplug_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the hotplug pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures  the  hotplug  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  hotplug processes execute with the hotplug_t SELinux type. You can
14       check if you have these processes running by executing the  ps  command
15       with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep hotplug_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  hotplug_t  SELinux type can be entered via the hotplug_etc_t, hot‐
25       plug_exec_t file types.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the hotplug_t domain are  the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /etc/hotplug(/.*)?,  /etc/hotplug.d/.*,  /sbin/hotplug, /sbin/netplugd,
31       /etc/hotplug/firmware.agent
32

PROCESS TYPES

34       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35       system
36
37       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
40       hotplug policy is very flexible allowing users to setup  their  hotplug
41       processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43       The following process types are defined for hotplug:
44
45       hotplug_t
46
47       Note:  semanage permissive -a hotplug_t can be used to make the process
48       type hotplug_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access  to  permissive
49       process  types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
50       ated.
51
52

BOOLEANS

54       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.  hotplug
55       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
56       manipulate the policy and run hotplug with the tightest  access  possi‐
57       ble.

FILE CONTEXTS

265       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
266       type.
267
268       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
269
270       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
271       SELinux  hotplug  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
272       hotplug processes in as secure a method as possible.
273
274       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
275
276       SELinux defines the file context types for the hotplug, if  you  wanted
277       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
278       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
279       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
280
281       semanage   fcontext   -a   -t   hotplug_var_run_t  '/srv/myhotplug_con‐
282       tent(/.*)?'
283       restorecon -R -v /srv/myhotplug_content
284
285       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
286       match multiple files.
287
288       The following file types are defined for hotplug:
289
290
291
292       hotplug_etc_t
293
294       -  Set  files with the hotplug_etc_t type, if you want to store hotplug
295       files in the /etc directories.
296
297
298
299       hotplug_exec_t
300
301       - Set files with the hotplug_exec_t type, if you want to transition  an
302       executable to the hotplug_t domain.
303
304
305       Paths:
306            /etc/hotplug.d/.*,    /sbin/hotplug,   /sbin/netplugd,   /etc/hot‐
307            plug/firmware.agent
308
309
310       hotplug_var_run_t
311
312       - Set files with the hotplug_var_run_t type, if you want to  store  the
313       hotplug files under the /run or /var/run directory.
314
315
316       Paths:
317            /var/run/usb(/.*)?, /var/run/hotplug(/.*)?
318
319
320       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
321       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
322       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
323       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
324
325

COMMANDS

327       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
328       mappings.
329
330       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
331       process type is permissive.
332
333       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
334       icy modules.
335
336       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
337
338
339       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
340       icy settings.
