6 eventlogd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the eventlogd
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the eventlogd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The eventlogd processes execute with the eventlogd_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 eventlogd_t
20
21
22
24 The eventlogd_t SELinux type can be entered via the eventlogd_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the eventlogd_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/eventlogd, /opt/likewise/sbin/eventlogd
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 eventlogd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their event‐
40 logd processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for eventlogd:
43
44 eventlogd_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a eventlogd_t can be used to make the
47 process type eventlogd_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. event‐
54 logd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run eventlogd with the tightest access
56 possible.

142 The SELinux process type eventlogd_t can manage files labeled with the
143 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
144 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

192 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
193 type.
194
195 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
196
197 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
198 SELinux eventlogd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
199 eventlogd processes in as secure a method as possible.
200
201 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
202
203 SELinux defines the file context types for the eventlogd, if you wanted
204 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
205 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
206 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
207
208 semanage fcontext -a -t eventlogd_var_socket_t '/srv/myeventlogd_con‐
209 tent(/.*)?'
210 restorecon -R -v /srv/myeventlogd_content
211
212 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
213 match multiple files.
214
215 The following file types are defined for eventlogd:
216
217
218
219 eventlogd_exec_t
220
221 - Set files with the eventlogd_exec_t type, if you want to transition
222 an executable to the eventlogd_t domain.
223
224
225 Paths:
226 /usr/sbin/eventlogd, /opt/likewise/sbin/eventlogd
227
228
229 eventlogd_var_lib_t
230
231 - Set files with the eventlogd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
232 eventlogd files under the /var/lib directory.
233
234
235 Paths:
236 /var/lib/likewise/db/lwi_events.db, /var/lib/likewise-
237 open/db/lwi_events.db
238
239
240 eventlogd_var_run_t
241
242 - Set files with the eventlogd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
243 eventlogd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
244
245
246
247 eventlogd_var_socket_t
248
249 - Set files with the eventlogd_var_socket_t type, if you want to treat
250 the files as eventlogd var socket data.
251
252
253 Paths:
254 /var/lib/likewise/.eventlog, /var/lib/likewise/rpc/socket,
255 /var/lib/likewise-open/.eventlog, /var/lib/likewise-
256 open/rpc/socket
257
258
259 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
260 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
261 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
262 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
263
264
266 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
267 mappings.
268
269 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
270 process type is permissive.
271
272 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
273 icy modules.
274
275 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
276
277
278 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
279 icy settings.
