6 vhostmd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the vhostmd pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the vhostmd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The vhostmd processes execute with the vhostmd_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 vhostmd_t
20
21
22
24 The vhostmd_t SELinux type can be entered via the vhostmd_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the vhostmd_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/vhostmd
31
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 vhostmd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their vhostmd
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for vhostmd:
43
44 vhostmd_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a vhostmd_t can be used to make the process
47 type vhostmd_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
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. vhostmd
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run vhostmd with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.

154 The SELinux process type vhostmd_t can manage files labeled with the
155 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
156 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

232 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
233 type.
234
235 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
236
237 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
238 SELinux vhostmd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
239 vhostmd processes in as secure a method as possible.
240
241 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
242
243 SELinux defines the file context types for the vhostmd, if you wanted
244 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
245 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
246 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
247
248 semanage fcontext -a -t vhostmd_var_run_t '/srv/myvhostmd_con‐
249 tent(/.*)?'
250 restorecon -R -v /srv/myvhostmd_content
251
252 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
253 match multiple files.
254
255 The following file types are defined for vhostmd:
256
257
258
259 vhostmd_exec_t
260
261 - Set files with the vhostmd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
262 executable to the vhostmd_t domain.
263
264
265
266 vhostmd_initrc_exec_t
267
268 - Set files with the vhostmd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
269 tion an executable to the vhostmd_initrc_t domain.
270
271
272
273 vhostmd_tmpfs_t
274
275 - Set files with the vhostmd_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store vhostmd
276 files on a tmpfs file system.
277
278
279
280 vhostmd_var_run_t
281
282 - Set files with the vhostmd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
283 vhostmd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
284
285
286
287 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
288 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
289 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
290 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
291
292
294 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
295 mappings.
296
297 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
298 process type is permissive.
299
300 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
301 icy modules.
302
303 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
304
305
306 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
307 icy settings.
