NAME

6       logrotate_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the logrotate
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

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

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  logrotate_t  SELinux  type can be entered via the logrotate_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the logrotate_t domain are the follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /etc/cron.(daily|weekly)/sysklogd, /usr/sbin/logrotate
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       logrotate  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their logro‐
40       tate processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for logrotate:
43
44       logrotate_t, logrotate_mail_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a  logrotate_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  logrotate_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy is customizable based on least access required.  logro‐
54       tate policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that  allow
55       you to manipulate the policy and run logrotate with the tightest access
56       possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow logrotate to manage nfs files, you  must  turn  on
61       the logrotate_use_nfs boolean. Disabled by default.

91       setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1
92
93
94
95       If  you  want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
96       must  turn  on  the  domain_kernel_load_modules  boolean.  Disabled  by
97       default.
98
99       setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
100
101
102

107
108
109
110       If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
111       on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.

MANAGED FILES

139       The SELinux process type logrotate_t can manage files labeled with  the
140       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
141       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

223       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
224       type.
225
226       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
227
228       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
229       SELinux logrotate policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
230       logrotate processes in as secure a method as possible.
231
232       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
233
234       SELinux defines the file context types for the logrotate, if you wanted
235       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
236       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
237       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
238
239       semanage  fcontext  -a  -t  logrotate_var_lib_t  '/srv/mylogrotate_con‐
240       tent(/.*)?'
241       restorecon -R -v /srv/mylogrotate_content
242
243       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
244       match multiple files.
245
246       The following file types are defined for logrotate:
247
248
249
250       logrotate_exec_t
251
252       - Set files with the logrotate_exec_t type, if you want  to  transition
253       an executable to the logrotate_t domain.
254
255
256       Paths:
257            /etc/cron.(daily|weekly)/sysklogd, /usr/sbin/logrotate
258
259
260       logrotate_lock_t
261
262       -  Set  files  with the logrotate_lock_t type, if you want to treat the
263       files as logrotate lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
264
265
266
267       logrotate_mail_tmp_t
268
269       - Set files with the logrotate_mail_tmp_t type, if you  want  to  store
270       logrotate mail temporary files in the /tmp directories.
271
272
273
274       logrotate_tmp_t
275
276       -  Set files with the logrotate_tmp_t type, if you want to store logro‐
277       tate temporary files in the /tmp directories.
278
279
280
281       logrotate_var_lib_t
282
283       - Set files with the logrotate_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
284       logrotate files under the /var/lib directory.
285
286
287
288       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
289       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
290       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
291       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
292
293

COMMANDS

295       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
296       mappings.
297
298       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
299       process type is permissive.
300
301       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
302       icy modules.
303
304       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
305
306
307       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
308       icy settings.
