NAME

6       journalctl_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the journalctl
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the journalctl processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  journalctl  processes  execute with the journalctl_t SELinux type.
14       You can check if you have these processes running by executing  the  ps
15       command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep journalctl_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  journalctl_t SELinux type can be entered via the journalctl_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the journalctl_t domain are  the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /usr/bin/journalctl
31

PROCESS TYPES

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       journalctl  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their jour‐
40       nalctl processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for journalctl:
43
44       journalctl_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a journalctl_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  journalctl_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy  is customizable based on least access required.  jour‐
54       nalctl policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55       you  to  manipulate  the  policy  and  run journalctl with the tightest
56       access possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
61       ldap  rather  then  using  a  sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
62       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
63

69       processes,  you  must  turn  on  the  deny_ptrace  boolean.  Enabled by
70       default.
71
72       setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1

74
75
76       If you want to allow any process  to  mmap  any  file  on  system  with
77       attribute  file_type,  you must turn on the domain_can_mmap_files bool‐
78       ean. Enabled by default.

99       If  you  want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
100       must  turn  on  the  domain_kernel_load_modules  boolean.  Disabled  by
101       default.
102
103       setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
104
105
106
107       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
108       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
109
110       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
111
112
113
114       If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
115       on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
116
117       setsebool -P global_ssp 1

MANAGED FILES

157       The SELinux process type journalctl_t can manage files labeled with the
158       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
159       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
160
161       user_home_type
162
163            all user home files
164
165

FILE CONTEXTS

167       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
168       type.
169
170       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
171
172       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
173       SELinux journalctl policy is very  flexible  allowing  users  to  setup
174       their journalctl processes in as secure a method as possible.
175
176       The following file types are defined for journalctl:
177
178
179
180       journalctl_exec_t
181
182       -  Set files with the journalctl_exec_t type, if you want to transition
183       an executable to the journalctl_t domain.
184
185
186
187       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
188       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
189       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
190       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
191
192

COMMANDS

194       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
195       mappings.
196
197       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
198       process type is permissive.
199
200       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
201       icy modules.
202
203       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
204
205
206       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
207       icy settings.
