NAME

6       svc_start_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the svc_start
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the svc_start  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  svc_start processes execute with the svc_start_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 svc_start_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  svc_start_t  SELinux  type can be entered via the svc_start_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the svc_start_t domain are the follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/bin/svc,   /usr/bin/svok,   /usr/bin/svscan,   /usr/bin/supervise,
31       /usr/bin/svscanboot
32

PROCESS TYPES

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

BOOLEANS

54       SELinux  policy  is  customizable  based  on  least  access   required.
55       svc_start  policy  is  extremely flexible and has several booleans that
56       allow you to manipulate the policy and run svc_start with the  tightest
57       access possible.
58
59
60
61       If  you  want to allow all daemons the ability to read/write terminals,
62       you  must  turn  on  the  allow_daemons_use_tty  boolean.  Disabled  by
63       default.
64
65       setsebool -P allow_daemons_use_tty 1
66
67
68
69       If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
70       you must turn on the allow_domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
71
72       setsebool -P allow_domain_fd_use 1
73
74
75
76       If you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you  must
77       turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
78
79       setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
80
81
82
83       If  you  want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
84       must  turn  on  the  domain_kernel_load_modules  boolean.  Disabled  by
85       default.
86
87       setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
88
89
90
91       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
92       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
93
94       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
95
96
97
98       If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
99       on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
100
101       setsebool -P global_ssp 1

MANAGED FILES

106       The  SELinux process type svc_start_t can manage files labeled with the
107       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
108       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
109
110       initrc_tmp_t
111
112
113       mnt_t
114
115            /mnt(/[^/]*)
116            /mnt(/[^/]*)?
117            /rhev(/[^/]*)?
118            /media(/[^/]*)
119            /media(/[^/]*)?
120            /etc/rhgb(/.*)?
121            /media/.hal-.*
122            /net
123            /afs
124            /rhev

132            /var/service/.*
133            /var/dnscache(/.*)?
134            /var/qmail/supervise(/.*)?
135            /service
136
137       tmp_t
138
139            /tmp
140            /usr/tmp
141            /var/tmp
142            /tmp-inst

FILE CONTEXTS

148       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
149       type.
150
151       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
152
153       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
154       SELinux svc_start policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
155       svc_start processes in as secure a method as possible.
156
157       The following file types are defined for svc_start:
158
159
160
161       svc_start_exec_t
162
163       - Set files with the svc_start_exec_t type, if you want  to  transition
164       an executable to the svc_start_t domain.
165
166
167       Paths:
168            /usr/bin/svc,  /usr/bin/svok, /usr/bin/svscan, /usr/bin/supervise,
169            /usr/bin/svscanboot
170
171
172       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
173       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
174       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
175       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
176
177

COMMANDS

179       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
180       mappings.
181
182       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
183       process type is permissive.
184
185       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
186       icy modules.
187
188       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
189
190
191       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
192       icy settings.
