6 oddjob_mkhomedir_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the odd‐
7 job_mkhomedir processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the oddjob_mkhomedir processes via
11 flexible mandatory access control.
12
13 The oddjob_mkhomedir processes execute with the oddjob_mkhomedir_t
14 SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe‐
15 cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep oddjob_mkhomedir_t
20
21
22
24 The oddjob_mkhomedir_t SELinux type can be entered via the odd‐
25 job_mkhomedir_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the oddjob_mkhomedir_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /usr/lib/oddjob/mkhomedir, /usr/sbin/mkhomedir_helper,
31 /usr/libexec/oddjob/mkhomedir
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36
37 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 oddjob_mkhomedir policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
41 oddjob_mkhomedir processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for oddjob_mkhomedir:
44
45 oddjob_mkhomedir_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a oddjob_mkhomedir_t can be used to make the
48 process type oddjob_mkhomedir_t permissive. SELinux does not deny
49 access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) mes‐
50 sages are still generated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. odd‐
55 job_mkhomedir policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans
56 that allow you to manipulate the policy and run oddjob_mkhomedir with
57 the tightest access possible.

179 The SELinux process type oddjob_mkhomedir_t can manage files labeled

182 permissions.
183
184 cifs_t

209 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
210 type.
211
212 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
213
214 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
215 SELinux oddjob_mkhomedir policy is very flexible allowing users to set‐
216 up their oddjob_mkhomedir processes in as secure a method as possible.
217
218 The following file types are defined for oddjob_mkhomedir:
219
220
221
222 oddjob_mkhomedir_exec_t
223
224 - Set files with the oddjob_mkhomedir_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
225 sition an executable to the oddjob_mkhomedir_t domain.
226
227
228 Paths:
229 /usr/lib/oddjob/mkhomedir, /usr/sbin/mkhomedir_helper,
230 /usr/libexec/oddjob/mkhomedir
231
232
233 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
234 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
235 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
236 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
237
238
240 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
241 mappings.
242
243 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
244 process type is permissive.
245
246 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
247 icy modules.
248
249 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
250
251
252 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
253 icy settings.
