6 accountsd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the accountsd
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the accountsd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The accountsd processes execute with the accountsd_t SELinux type. You
14 can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps com‐
15 mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep accountsd_t
20
21
22
24 The accountsd_t SELinux type can be entered via the accountsd_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the accountsd_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon, /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-daemon
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 accountsd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 accountsd processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for accountsd:
43
44 accountsd_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a accountsd_t can be used to make the
47 process type accountsd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 accountsd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run accountsd with the tightest
56 access possible.

172 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
173 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

220 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
221 type.
222
223 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
224
225 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
226 SELinux accountsd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
227 accountsd processes in as secure a method as possible.
228
229 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
230
231 SELinux defines the file context types for the accountsd, if you wanted
232 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
233 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
234 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
235
236 semanage fcontext -a -t accountsd_var_lib_t '/srv/myaccountsd_con‐
237 tent(/.*)?'
238 restorecon -R -v /srv/myaccountsd_content
239
240 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
241 match multiple files.
242
243 The following file types are defined for accountsd:
244
245
246
247 accountsd_exec_t
248
249 - Set files with the accountsd_exec_t type, if you want to transition
250 an executable to the accountsd_t domain.
251
252
253 Paths:
254 /usr/libexec/accounts-daemon, /usr/lib/accountsservice/accounts-
255 daemon
256
257
258 accountsd_unit_file_t
259
260 - Set files with the accountsd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
261 the files as accountsd unit content.
262
263
264
265 accountsd_var_lib_t
266
267 - Set files with the accountsd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
268 accountsd files under the /var/lib directory.
269
270
271
272 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
273 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
274 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
275 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
276
277
279 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
280 mappings.
281
282 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
283 process type is permissive.
284
285 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
286 icy modules.
287
288 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
289
290
291 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
292 icy settings.
