NAME

6       newrole_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the newrole pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures  the  newrole  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  newrole processes execute with the newrole_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 newrole_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  newrole_t  SELinux type can be entered via the newrole_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the newrole_t domain are  the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/bin/newrole
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       newrole  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their newrole
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for newrole:
43
44       newrole_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a newrole_t can be used to make the  process
47       type  newrole_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

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.  newrole
54       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55       manipulate  the  policy and run newrole with the tightest access possi‐
56       ble.
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.

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.

85       executed  with  systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the
86       domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.
87
88       setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
89

MANAGED FILES

158       The  SELinux  process  type newrole_t can manage files labeled with the
159       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
160       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
161

163
164            /var/log/btmp.*
165            /var/log/faillog.*

FILE CONTEXTS

199       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
200       type.
201
202       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
203
204       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
205       SELinux  newrole  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
206       newrole processes in as secure a method as possible.
207
208       The following file types are defined for newrole:
209
210
211
212       newrole_exec_t
213
214       - Set files with the newrole_exec_t type, if you want to transition  an
215       executable to the newrole_t domain.
216
217
218
219       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
220       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
221       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
222       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
223
224

COMMANDS

226       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
227       mappings.
228
229       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
230       process type is permissive.
231
232       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
233       icy modules.
234
235       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
236
237
238       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
239       icy settings.
