6 nx_server_ssh_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 nx_server_ssh processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the nx_server_ssh processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12
13 The nx_server_ssh processes execute with the nx_server_ssh_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep nx_server_ssh_t
20
21
22
24 The nx_server_ssh_t SELinux type can be entered via the ssh_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the nx_server_ssh_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /usr/bin/ssh
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 nx_server_ssh policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 nx_server_ssh processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for nx_server_ssh:
43
44 nx_server_ssh_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a nx_server_ssh_t can be used to make the
47 process type nx_server_ssh_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48 to 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.
54 nx_server_ssh policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans
55 that allow you to manipulate the policy and run nx_server_ssh with the
56 tightest access possible.

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 confined applications to run with kerberos, you
68 must turn on the allow_kerberos boolean. Enabled by default.
69
70 setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1
71
72
73
74 If you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
75 turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
76
77 setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
78
79
80
81 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
82 allow_ypbind boolean. Disabled by default.
83
84 setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1
85
86
87
88 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
89 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
90 default.
91
92 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
93
94
95
96 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
97 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
98
99 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
100
101
102
103 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
104 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
105
106 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
107
108
109
110 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
111 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
112
113 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

118 The SELinux process type nx_server_ssh_t can manage files labeled with
119 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
120 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
121 missions.

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