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

118
119
120
121 If you want to enable support for upstart as the init program, you must
122 turn on the init_upstart boolean. Enabled by default.
123
124 setsebool -P init_upstart 1
125
126
127
129 The SELinux process type klogd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
130 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
131 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

199 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
200 type.
201
202 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
203
204 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
205 SELinux klogd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
206 klogd processes in as secure a method as possible.
207
208 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
209
210 SELinux defines the file context types for the klogd, if you wanted to
211 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
212 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
213 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
214
215 semanage fcontext -a -t klogd_var_run_t '/srv/myklogd_content(/.*)?'
216 restorecon -R -v /srv/myklogd_content
217
218 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
219 match multiple files.
220
221 The following file types are defined for klogd:
222
223
224
225 klogd_exec_t
226
227 - Set files with the klogd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
228 executable to the klogd_t domain.
229
230
231 Paths:
232 /sbin/klogd, /sbin/rklogd, /usr/sbin/klogd, /usr/sbin/rklogd
233
234
235 klogd_tmp_t
236
237 - Set files with the klogd_tmp_t type, if you want to store klogd tem‐
238 porary files in the /tmp directories.
239
240
241
242 klogd_var_run_t
243
244 - Set files with the klogd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
245 klogd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
246
247
248
249 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
250 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
251 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
252 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
253
254
256 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
257 mappings.
258
259 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
260 process type is permissive.
261
262 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
263 icy modules.
264
265 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
266
267
268 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
269 icy settings.
