NAME

6       psad_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the psad processes
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Security-Enhanced  Linux secures the psad processes via flexible manda‐
10       tory access control.
11
12       The psad processes execute with the psad_t SELinux type. You can  check
13       if  you  have  these processes running by executing the ps command with
14       the -Z qualifier.
15
16       For example:
17
18       ps -eZ | grep psad_t
19
20
21

ENTRYPOINTS

23       The psad_t SELinux type can be entered via the psad_exec_t file type.
24
25       The default entrypoint paths for the psad_t domain are the following:
26
27       /usr/sbin/psad
28

PROCESS TYPES

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       psad policy is very flexible allowing users to setup  their  psad  pro‐
37       cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39       The following process types are defined for psad:
40
41       psad_t
42
43       Note:  semanage  permissive  -a  psad_t can be used to make the process
44       type psad_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

BOOLEANS

50       SELinux policy is customizable based on least  access  required.   psad
51       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52       manipulate the policy and run psad with the tightest access possible.

MANAGED FILES

150       The  SELinux process type psad_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
151       lowing file types.  The paths listed are the default  paths  for  these
152       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

224       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
225       type.
226
227       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
228
229       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
230       SELinux psad policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their psad
231       processes in as secure a method as possible.
232
233       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
234
235       SELinux defines the file context types for the psad, if you  wanted  to
236       store  files  with  these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
237       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
238       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
239
240       semanage fcontext -a -t psad_var_run_t '/srv/mypsad_content(/.*)?'
241       restorecon -R -v /srv/mypsad_content
242
243       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
244       match multiple files.
245
246       The following file types are defined for psad:
247
248
249
250       psad_etc_t
251
252       - Set files with the psad_etc_t type, if you want to store  psad  files
253       in the /etc directories.
254
255
256
257       psad_exec_t
258
259       -  Set  files  with  the psad_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
260       executable to the psad_t domain.
261
262
263
264       psad_initrc_exec_t
265
266       - Set files with the psad_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition
267       an executable to the psad_initrc_t domain.
268
269
270
271       psad_tmp_t
272
273       -  Set files with the psad_tmp_t type, if you want to store psad tempo‐
274       rary files in the /tmp directories.
275
276
277
278       psad_var_lib_t
279
280       - Set files with the psad_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the psad
281       files under the /var/lib directory.
282
283
284
285       psad_var_log_t
286
287       - Set files with the psad_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
288       as psad var log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
289
290
291
292       psad_var_run_t
293
294       - Set files with the psad_var_run_t type, if you want to store the psad
295       files under the /run or /var/run directory.
296
297
298
299       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
300       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
301       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
302       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
303
304

COMMANDS

306       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
307       mappings.
308
309       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
310       process type is permissive.
311
312       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
313       icy modules.
314
315       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
316
317
318       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
319       icy settings.
