6 pingd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pingd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the pingd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The pingd processes execute with the pingd_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 pingd_t
19
20
21
23 The pingd_t SELinux type can be entered via the pingd_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the pingd_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/sbin/pingd
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 pingd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their pingd pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for pingd:
40
41 ping_t, pingd_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a pingd_t can be used to make the process
44 type pingd_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. pingd
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run pingd with the tightest access possible.

164
165
167 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
168
169 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
170 command:
171
172 semanage port -l
173
174
175 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
176 SELinux pingd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
177 pingd processes in as secure a method as possible.
178
179 The following port types are defined for pingd:
180
181
182 pingd_port_t
183
184
185
186 Default Defined Ports:
187 tcp 9125
188
190 The SELinux process type pingd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
191 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
192 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

231 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
232 type.
233
234 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
235
236 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
237 SELinux pingd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
238 pingd processes in as secure a method as possible.
239
240 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
241
242 SELinux defines the file context types for the pingd, if you wanted to
243 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
244 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
245 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
246
247 semanage fcontext -a -t pingd_modules_t '/srv/mypingd_content(/.*)?'
248 restorecon -R -v /srv/mypingd_content
249
250 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
251 match multiple files.
252
253 The following file types are defined for pingd:
254
255
256
257 pingd_etc_t
258
259 - Set files with the pingd_etc_t type, if you want to store pingd files
260 in the /etc directories.
261
262
263
264 pingd_exec_t
265
266 - Set files with the pingd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
267 executable to the pingd_t domain.
268
269
270
271 pingd_initrc_exec_t
272
273 - Set files with the pingd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
274 tion an executable to the pingd_initrc_t domain.
275
276
277
278 pingd_modules_t
279
280 - Set files with the pingd_modules_t type, if you want to treat the
281 files as pingd modules.
282
283
284
285 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
286 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
287 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
288 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
289
290
292 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
293 mappings.
294
295 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
296 process type is permissive.
297
298 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
299 icy modules.
300
301 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
302
303 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
304
305
306 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
307 icy settings.
