6 smbcontrol_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the smbcontrol
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the smbcontrol processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The smbcontrol processes execute with the smbcontrol_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep smbcontrol_t
20
21
22
24 The smbcontrol_t SELinux type can be entered via the smbcontrol_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the smbcontrol_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/bin/smbcontrol
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 smbcontrol policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their smb‐
40 control processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for smbcontrol:
43
44 smbcontrol_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a smbcontrol_t can be used to make the
47 process type smbcontrol_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 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. smbcon‐
54 trol policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run smbcontrol 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 sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
68 turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70 setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
71
72
73
74 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
75 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
76 default.
77
78 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
79
80
81
82 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
83 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
84
85 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
86
87
88
89 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
90 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
91
92 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
93
94
95
97 The SELinux process type smbcontrol_t can manage files labeled with the
98 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
99 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

135 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
136 type.
137
138 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
139
140 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
141 SELinux smbcontrol policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
142 their smbcontrol processes in as secure a method as possible.
143
144 The following file types are defined for smbcontrol:
145
146
147
148 smbcontrol_exec_t
149
150 - Set files with the smbcontrol_exec_t type, if you want to transition
151 an executable to the smbcontrol_t domain.
152
153
154
155 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
156 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
157 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
158 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
159
160
162 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
163 mappings.
164
165 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
166 process type is permissive.
167
168 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
169 icy modules.
170
171 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
172
173
174 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
175 icy settings.
