7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the gconfd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The gconfd processes execute with the gconfd_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 gconfd_t
20
21
22
24 The gconfd_t SELinux type can be entered via the gconfd_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the gconfd_t domain are the following:
28
29
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 gconfd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their gconfd
39 processes in as secure a method as possible.
40
41 The following process types are defined for gconfd:
42
43 gconfdefaultsm_t, gconfd_t
44
45 Note: semanage permissive -a gconfd_t can be used to make the process
46 type gconfd_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. gconfd
53 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54 manipulate the policy and run gconfd with the tightest access possible.
55
56
57
58 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
59 you must turn on the allow_domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
60
61 setsebool -P allow_domain_fd_use 1
62
63
64
65 If you want to allow sysadm to debug or ptrace all processes, you must
66 turn on the allow_ptrace boolean. Disabled by default.
67
68 setsebool -P allow_ptrace 1
69
70
71
72 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
73 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
74 default.
75
76 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
77
78
79
80 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
81 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
82
83 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
84
85
86
87 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
88 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
89
90 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
91
92
93
95 The SELinux process type gconfd_t can manage files labeled with the
96 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
97 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

141 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
142 type.
143
144 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
145
146 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
147 SELinux gconfd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
148 gconfd processes in as secure a method as possible.
149
150 The following file types are defined for gconfd:
151
152
153
154 gconfd_exec_t
155
156 - Set files with the gconfd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
157 executable to the gconfd_t domain.
158
159
160
161 gconfdefaultsm_exec_t
162
163 - Set files with the gconfdefaultsm_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
164 tion an executable to the gconfdefaultsm_t domain.
165
166
167
168 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
169 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
170 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
171 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
172
173
175 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
176 mappings.
177
178 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
179 process type is permissive.
180
181 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
182 icy modules.
183
184 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
185
186
187 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
188 icy settings.
