7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the run_init processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The run_init processes execute with the run_init_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 run_init_t
20
21
22
24 The run_init_t SELinux type can be entered via the run_init_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the run_init_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/run_init
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 run_init policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their run_init
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for run_init:
43
44 run_init_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a run_init_t can be used to make the process
47 type run_init_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 run_init policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run run_init with the tightest
56 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 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
114
115
116
118 The SELinux process type run_init_t can manage files labeled with the
119 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
120 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

174 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
175 type.
176
177 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
178
179 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
180 SELinux run_init policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
181 run_init processes in as secure a method as possible.
182
183 The following file types are defined for run_init:
184
185
186
187 run_init_exec_t
188
189 - Set files with the run_init_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
190 executable to the run_init_t domain.
191
192
193
194 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
195 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
196 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
197 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
198
199
201 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
202 mappings.
203
204 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
205 process type is permissive.
206
207 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
208 icy modules.
209
210 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
211
212
213 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
214 icy settings.
