6 klogd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the klogd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the klogd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The klogd processes execute with the klogd_t SELinux type. You can
13 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14 with the -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep klogd_t
19
20
21
23 The klogd_t SELinux type can be entered via the klogd_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the klogd_t domain are the following:
26
27 /sbin/klogd, /sbin/rklogd, /usr/sbin/klogd, /usr/sbin/rklogd
28
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 klogd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their klogd pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for klogd:
40
41 klogd_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a klogd_t can be used to make the process
44 type klogd_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
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. klogd
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run klogd with the tightest access possible.

116 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
117 default.

120
121
122
123 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
124 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
125
126 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
127
128
129
130 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
131 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
132
133 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
134
135
136
138 The SELinux process type klogd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
139 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
140 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

186 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
187 type.
188
189 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
190
191 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
192 SELinux klogd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
193 klogd processes in as secure a method as possible.
194
195 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
196
197 SELinux defines the file context types for the klogd, if you wanted to
198 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
199 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
200 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
201
202 semanage fcontext -a -t klogd_var_run_t '/srv/myklogd_content(/.*)?'
203 restorecon -R -v /srv/myklogd_content
204
205 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
206 match multiple files.
207
208 The following file types are defined for klogd:
209
210
211
212 klogd_exec_t
213
214 - Set files with the klogd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
215 executable to the klogd_t domain.
216
217
218 Paths:
219 /sbin/klogd, /sbin/rklogd, /usr/sbin/klogd, /usr/sbin/rklogd
220
221
222 klogd_tmp_t
223
224 - Set files with the klogd_tmp_t type, if you want to store klogd tem‐
225 porary files in the /tmp directories.
226
227
228
229 klogd_var_run_t
230
231 - Set files with the klogd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
232 klogd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
233
234
235
236 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
237 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
238 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
239 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
240
241
243 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
244 mappings.
245
246 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
247 process type is permissive.
248
249 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
250 icy modules.
251
252 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
253
254
255 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
256 icy settings.
