6 oddjob_mkhomedir_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the odd‐
7 job_mkhomedir processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the oddjob_mkhomedir processes via
11 flexible mandatory access control.
12 The oddjob_mkhomedir processes execute with the oddjob_mkhomedir_t
14 SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe‐
15 cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep oddjob_mkhomedir_t
20
24 The oddjob_mkhomedir_t SELinux type can be entered via the odd‐
25 job_mkhomedir_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the oddjob_mkhomedir_t domain are the
28 following:
29 /usr/lib(64)?/oddjob/mkhomedir, /usr/libexec/oddjob/mkhomedir
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 oddjob_mkhomedir policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 oddjob_mkhomedir processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for oddjob_mkhomedir:
43 oddjob_mkhomedir_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a oddjob_mkhomedir_t can be used to make the
47 process type oddjob_mkhomedir_t permissive. SELinux does not deny
48 access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) mes‐
49 sages are still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. odd‐
54 job_mkhomedir policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans
55 that allow you to manipulate the policy and run oddjob_mkhomedir with
56 the 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 confined applications to run with kerberos, you
76 must turn on the allow_kerberos boolean. Enabled by default.
77 setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1
79 If you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
83 turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
84 setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
86 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
90 allow_ypbind boolean. Disabled by default.
91 setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1
93 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
97 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
98 default.
99 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
101 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
105 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
106 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
108 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
112 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
113 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
115 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
119 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
120 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
122 If you want to support NFS home directories, you must turn on the
126 use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
127 setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
129 If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the
133 use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
134 setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1
136
140 The SELinux process type oddjob_mkhomedir_t can manage files labeled
141 with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths
142 for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC
143 permissions.
144 cifs_t
146 initrc_tmp_t
149 mnt_t
152 /mnt(/[^/]*)
154 /mnt(/[^/]*)?
155 /rhev(/[^/]*)?
156 /media(/[^/]*)
157 /media(/[^/]*)?
158 /etc/rhgb(/.*)?
159 /media/.hal-.*
160 /net
161 /afs
162 /rhev
163 /misc
164 nfs_t
166 security_t
169 tmp_t
172 /tmp
174 /usr/tmp
175 /var/tmp
176 /tmp-inst
177 /var/tmp-inst
178 /var/tmp/vi.recover
179 user_home_type
181 all user home files
183
186 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
187 type.
188 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
190 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
192 SELinux oddjob_mkhomedir policy is very flexible allowing users to set‐
193 up their oddjob_mkhomedir processes in as secure a method as possible.
194 The following file types are defined for oddjob_mkhomedir:
196 oddjob_mkhomedir_exec_t
200 - Set files with the oddjob_mkhomedir_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
202 sition an executable to the oddjob_mkhomedir_t domain.
203 Paths:
206 /usr/lib(64)?/oddjob/mkhomedir, /usr/libexec/oddjob/mkhomedir
207 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
210 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
211 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
212 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
213
216 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
217 mappings.
218 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
220 process type is permissive.
221 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
223 icy modules.
224 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
226 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
229 icy settings.
