NAME

6       shorewall_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the shorewall
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the shorewall  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  shorewall processes execute with the shorewall_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 shorewall_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The   shorewall_t   SELinux   type   can  be  entered  via  the  shore‐
25       wall_var_lib_t, shorewall_exec_t file types.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the shorewall_t domain are the follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /var/lib/shorewall(/.*)?,   /var/lib/shorewall6(/.*)?,  /var/lib/shore‐
31       wall-lite(/.*)?,  /sbin/shorewall,  /sbin/shorewall6,  /sbin/shorewall-
32       lite
33

PROCESS TYPES

35       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
36       system
37
38       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
39
40       Policy governs the access confined processes have  to  files.   SELinux
41       shorewall  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their shore‐
42       wall processes in as secure a method as possible.
43
44       The following process types are defined for shorewall:
45
46       shorewall_t
47
48       Note: semanage permissive -a  shorewall_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
49       process  type  shorewall_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
50       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
51       still generated.
52
53

BOOLEANS

55       SELinux  policy is customizable based on least access required.  shore‐
56       wall policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that  allow
57       you to manipulate the policy and run shorewall with the tightest access
58       possible.

FILE CONTEXTS

250       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
251       type.
252
253       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
254
255       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
256       SELinux shorewall policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
257       shorewall processes in as secure a method as possible.
258
259       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
260
261
262       shorewall policy stores data with multiple different file context types
263       under the /var/lib/shorewall directory.  If you would like to store the
264       data  in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
265       ate an equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to store this data under the
266       /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
267
268       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/shorewall /srv/shorewall
269       restorecon -R -v /srv/shorewall
270
271       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
272
273       SELinux defines the file context types for the shorewall, if you wanted
274       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
275       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
276       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
277
278       semanage  fcontext  -a  -t  shorewall_var_lib_t  '/srv/myshorewall_con‐
279       tent(/.*)?'
280       restorecon -R -v /srv/myshorewall_content
281
282       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
283       match multiple files.
284
285       The following file types are defined for shorewall:
286
287
288
289       shorewall_etc_t
290
291       - Set files with the shorewall_etc_t type, if you want to store  shore‐
292       wall files in the /etc directories.
293
294
295       Paths:
296            /etc/shorewall(/.*)?, /etc/shorewall-lite(/.*)?
297
298
299       shorewall_exec_t
300
301       -  Set  files with the shorewall_exec_t type, if you want to transition
302       an executable to the shorewall_t domain.
303
304
305       Paths:
306            /sbin/shorewall, /sbin/shorewall6, /sbin/shorewall-lite
307
308
309       shorewall_initrc_exec_t
310
311       - Set files with the shorewall_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
312       sition an executable to the shorewall_initrc_t domain.
313
314
315       Paths:
316            /etc/rc.d/init.d/shorewall, /etc/rc.d/init.d/shorewall-lite
317
318
319       shorewall_lock_t
320
321       -  Set  files  with the shorewall_lock_t type, if you want to treat the
322       files as shorewall lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
323
324
325
326       shorewall_log_t
327
328       - Set files with the shorewall_log_t type, if you  want  to  treat  the
329       data  as  shorewall  log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
330       tory.
331
332
333
334       shorewall_tmp_t
335
336       - Set files with the shorewall_tmp_t type, if you want to store  shore‐
337       wall temporary files in the /tmp directories.
338
339
340
341       shorewall_var_lib_t
342
343       - Set files with the shorewall_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
344       shorewall files under the /var/lib directory.
345
346
347       Paths:
348            /var/lib/shorewall(/.*)?,               /var/lib/shorewall6(/.*)?,
349            /var/lib/shorewall-lite(/.*)?
350
351
352       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
353       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
354       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
355       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
356
357

COMMANDS

359       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
360       mappings.
361
362       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
363       process type is permissive.
364
365       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
366       icy modules.
367
368       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
369
370
371       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
372       icy settings.
