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

168 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
169 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

227 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
228 type.
229
230 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
231
232 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
233 SELinux smsd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their smsd
234 processes in as secure a method as possible.
235
236 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
237
238 SELinux defines the file context types for the smsd, if you wanted to
239 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
240 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
241 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
242
243 semanage fcontext -a -t smsd_var_run_t '/srv/mysmsd_content(/.*)?'
244 restorecon -R -v /srv/mysmsd_content
245
246 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
247 match multiple files.
248
249 The following file types are defined for smsd:
250
251
252
253 smsd_exec_t
254
255 - Set files with the smsd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
256 executable to the smsd_t domain.
257
258
259
260 smsd_initrc_exec_t
261
262 - Set files with the smsd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition
263 an executable to the smsd_initrc_t domain.
264
265
266
267 smsd_log_t
268
269 - Set files with the smsd_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
270 smsd log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
271
272
273
274 smsd_spool_t
275
276 - Set files with the smsd_spool_t type, if you want to store the smsd
277 files under the /var/spool directory.
278
279
280
281 smsd_tmp_t
282
283 - Set files with the smsd_tmp_t type, if you want to store smsd tempo‐
284 rary files in the /tmp directories.
285
286
287
288 smsd_var_lib_t
289
290 - Set files with the smsd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the smsd
291 files under the /var/lib directory.
292
293
294
295 smsd_var_run_t
296
297 - Set files with the smsd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the smsd
298 files under the /run or /var/run directory.
299
300
301
302 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
303 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
304 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
305 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
306
307
309 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
310 mappings.
311
312 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
313 process type is permissive.
314
315 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
316 icy modules.
317
318 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
319
320
321 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
322 icy settings.
