NAME

6       load_policy_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the load_pol‐
7       icy processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the load_policy processes via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  load_policy processes execute with the load_policy_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 load_policy_t

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  load_policy_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered  via  the load_pol‐
25       icy_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the load_policy_t domain are the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /sbin/load_policy, /usr/sbin/load_policy
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       load_policy  policy  is  very  flexible  allowing  users to setup their
40       load_policy processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for load_policy:
43
44       load_policy_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a load_policy_t can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type load_policy_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.
54       load_policy policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that
55       allow  you to manipulate the policy and run load_policy with the tight‐
56       est 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
93
94
95
96       If you want to boolean to determine whether the system permits  loading
97       policy,  setting enforcing mode, and changing boolean values.  Set this
98       to true and you have to reboot to set it back, you  must  turn  on  the
99       secure_mode_policyload boolean. Disabled by default.
100
101       setsebool -P secure_mode_policyload 1

MANAGED FILES

106       The  SELinux  process  type load_policy_t can manage files labeled with
107       the following file types.  The paths listed are the default  paths  for
108       these  file  types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
109       missions.
110
111       boolean_type
112
113
114       initrc_tmp_t
115
116
117       mnt_t
118
119            /mnt(/[^/]*)
120            /mnt(/[^/]*)?
121            /rhev(/[^/]*)?
122            /media(/[^/]*)
123            /media(/[^/]*)?
124            /etc/rhgb(/.*)?
125            /media/.hal-.*
126            /net
127            /afs
128            /rhev
129            /misc
130
131       tmp_t
132
133            /tmp
134            /usr/tmp
135            /var/tmp
136            /tmp-inst
137            /var/tmp-inst
138            /var/tmp/vi.recover

FILE CONTEXTS

142       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
143       type.
144
145       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
146
147       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
148       SELinux load_policy policy is very flexible  allowing  users  to  setup
149       their load_policy processes in as secure a method as possible.
150
151       The following file types are defined for load_policy:
152
153
154
155       load_policy_exec_t
156
157       - Set files with the load_policy_exec_t type, if you want to transition
158       an executable to the load_policy_t domain.
159
160
161       Paths:
162            /sbin/load_policy, /usr/sbin/load_policy
163
164
165       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
166       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
167       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
168       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

COMMANDS

172       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
173       mappings.
174
175       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
176       process type is permissive.
177
178       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
179       icy modules.
180
181       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
182
183
184       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
185       icy settings.
