NAME

6       amanda_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced  Linux Policy for the amanda pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux  secures  the  amanda  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  amanda  processes  execute with the amanda_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 amanda_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  amanda_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered  via  the amanda_exec_t,
25       amanda_inetd_exec_t file types.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the amanda_t domain are the following:
28
29       /usr/lib(64)?/amanda/.+,                  /usr/lib(64)?/amanda/amandad,
30       /usr/lib(64)?/amanda/amindexd, /usr/lib(64)?/amanda/amidxtaped
31

PROCESS TYPES

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       amanda  policy  is  very  flexible allowing users to setup their amanda
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for amanda:
43
44       amanda_t, amanda_recover_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a amanda_t can be used to make  the  process
47       type  amanda_t  permissive.  SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48       process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still  gener‐
49       ated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy is customizable based on least access required.  amanda
54       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55       manipulate the policy and run amanda with the tightest access possible.
56
57
58
59       If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
60       you must turn on the allow_domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
61
62       setsebool -P allow_domain_fd_use 1
63
64
65
66       If you want to allow confined applications to run  with  kerberos,  you
67       must turn on the allow_kerberos boolean. Enabled by default.
68
69       setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1
70
71
72
73       If  you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
74       turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
75
76       setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
77
78
79
80       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
81       allow_ypbind boolean. Disabled by default.
82
83       setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1
84
85
86
87       If  you  want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
88       must  turn  on  the  domain_kernel_load_modules  boolean.  Disabled  by
89       default.
90
91       setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
92
93
94
95       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
96       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
97
98       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
99
100
101
102       If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
103       on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
104
105       setsebool -P global_ssp 1
106
107
108
109       If  you  want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
110       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
111
112       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
113
114
115

PORT TYPES

117       SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
118
119       You can see the types associated with a port  by  using  the  following
120       command:
121
122       semanage port -l
123
124
125       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these ports.
126       SELinux amanda policy is very flexible allowing users  to  setup  their
127       amanda processes in as secure a method as possible.
128
129       The following port types are defined for amanda:
130
131
132       amanda_port_t
133
134
135
136       Default Defined Ports:
137                 tcp 10080-10083
138                 udp 10080-10082
139

MANAGED FILES

141       The  SELinux  process  type  amanda_t can manage files labeled with the
142       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
143       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

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  amanda  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their
212       amanda processes in as secure a method as possible.
213
214       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
215
216
217       amanda policy stores data with multiple different  file  context  types
218       under  the /var/lib/amanda/[^/]+ directory.  If you would like to store
219       the data in a different directory you can use the semanage  command  to
220       create  an equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to store this data under
221       the /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
222
223       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/amanda/[^/]+ /srv/]+
224       restorecon -R -v /srv/]+
225
226       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
227
228       SELinux defines the file context types for the amanda, if you wanted to
229       store  files  with  these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
230       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
231       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
232
233       semanage fcontext -a -t amanda_var_lib_t '/srv/myamanda_content(/.*)?'
234       restorecon -R -v /srv/myamanda_content
235
236       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
237       match multiple files.
238
239       The following file types are defined for amanda:
240
241
242

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 port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
369
370       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
371
372
373       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
374       icy settings.
