6 accountsd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the accountsd
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the accountsd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The accountsd processes execute with the accountsd_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 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep accountsd_t
20
24 The accountsd_t SELinux type can be entered via the accountsd_exec_t
25 file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the accountsd_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29 /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 accountsd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 accountsd processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for accountsd:
43 accountsd_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a accountsd_t can be used to make the
47 process type accountsd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 accountsd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run accountsd with the tightest
56 access possible.
57 If you want to allow all daemons the ability to read/write terminals,
61 you must turn on the allow_daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by
62 default.
63 setsebool -P allow_daemons_use_tty 1
65 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
69 you must turn on the allow_domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
70 setsebool -P allow_domain_fd_use 1
72 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
76 must turn on the allow_kerberos boolean. Enabled by default.
77 setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1
79 If you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
83 turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
84 setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
86 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
90 allow_ypbind boolean. Disabled by default.
91 setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1
93 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
97 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
98 default.
99 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
101 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
105 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
106 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
108 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
112 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
113 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
115 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
119 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
120 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
122
126 The SELinux process type accountsd_t can manage files labeled with the
127 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
128 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
129 accountsd_var_lib_t
131 /var/lib/AccountsService(/.*)?
133 initrc_tmp_t
135 mnt_t
138 /mnt(/[^/]*)
140 /mnt(/[^/]*)?
141 /rhev(/[^/]*)?
142 /media(/[^/]*)
143 /media(/[^/]*)?
144 /etc/rhgb(/.*)?
145 /media/.hal-.*
146 /net
147 /afs
148 /rhev
149 /misc
150 tmp_t
152 /tmp
154 /usr/tmp
155 /var/tmp
156 /tmp-inst
157 /var/tmp-inst
158 /var/tmp/vi.recover
159 xdm_etc_t
161 /etc/gdm(/.*)?

166 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
167 type.
168 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
170 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
172 SELinux accountsd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
173 accountsd processes in as secure a method as possible.
174 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
176 SELinux defines the file context types for the accountsd, if you wanted
178 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
179 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
180 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
181 semanage fcontext -a -t accountsd_var_lib_t '/srv/myaccountsd_con‐
183 tent(/.*)?'
184 restorecon -R -v /srv/myaccountsd_content
185 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
187 match multiple files.
188 The following file types are defined for accountsd:
190 accountsd_exec_t
194 - Set files with the accountsd_exec_t type, if you want to transition
196 an executable to the accountsd_t domain.
197 accountsd_var_lib_t
201 - Set files with the accountsd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
203 accountsd files under the /var/lib directory.
204 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
208 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
209 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
210 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
211
214 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
215 mappings.
216 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
218 process type is permissive.
219 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
221 icy modules.
222 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
224 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
227 icy settings.
