6 ypserv_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ypserv pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ypserv processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The ypserv processes execute with the ypserv_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep ypserv_t
20
21
22
24 The ypserv_t SELinux type can be entered via the ypserv_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the ypserv_t domain are the following:
28
29 /usr/sbin/ypserv
30
32 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
33 system
34
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
36
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
38 ypserv policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ypserv
39 processes in as secure a method as possible.
40
41 The following process types are defined for ypserv:
42
43 ypserv_t
44
45 Note: semanage permissive -a ypserv_t can be used to make the process
46 type ypserv_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
47 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
48 ated.
49
50
52 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. ypserv
53 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54 manipulate the policy and run ypserv with the tightest access possible.

131 The SELinux process type ypserv_t can manage files labeled with the
132 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
133 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

205 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
206 type.
207
208 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
209
210 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
211 SELinux ypserv policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
212 ypserv processes in as secure a method as possible.
213
214 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
215
216 SELinux defines the file context types for the ypserv, if you wanted to
217 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
218 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
219 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
220
221 semanage fcontext -a -t ypserv_var_run_t '/srv/myypserv_content(/.*)?'
222 restorecon -R -v /srv/myypserv_content
223
224 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
225 match multiple files.
226
227 The following file types are defined for ypserv:
228
229
230
231 ypserv_conf_t
232
233 - Set files with the ypserv_conf_t type, if you want to treat the files
234 as ypserv configuration data, usually stored under the /etc directory.
235
236
237
238 ypserv_exec_t
239
240 - Set files with the ypserv_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
241 executable to the ypserv_t domain.
242
243
244
245 ypserv_tmp_t
246
247 - Set files with the ypserv_tmp_t type, if you want to store ypserv
248 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
249
250
251
252 ypserv_var_run_t
253
254 - Set files with the ypserv_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
255 ypserv files under the /run or /var/run directory.
256
257
258
259 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
260 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
261 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
262 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
263
264
266 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
267 mappings.
268
269 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
270 process type is permissive.
271
272 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
273 icy modules.
274
275 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
276
277
278 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
279 icy settings.
