6 snapperd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the snapperd pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the snapperd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The snapperd processes execute with the snapperd_t SELinux type. You
14 can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps com‐
15 mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep snapperd_t
20
21
22
24 The snapperd_t SELinux type can be entered via the snapperd_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the snapperd_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/snapperd
31
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 snapperd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their snapperd
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for snapperd:
43
44 snapperd_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a snapperd_t can be used to make the process
47 type snapperd_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
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. snap‐
54 perd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run snapperd with the tightest access
56 possible.

171 The SELinux process type snapperd_t can manage files labeled with the
172 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
173 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 snapperd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
238 snapperd processes in as secure a method as possible.
239
240 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
241
242 SELinux defines the file context types for the snapperd, if you wanted
243 to 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 snapperd_log_t '/srv/mysnapperd_content(/.*)?'
248 restorecon -R -v /srv/mysnapperd_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 snapperd:
254
255
256
257 snapperd_conf_t
258
259 - Set files with the snapperd_conf_t type, if you want to treat the
260 files as snapperd configuration data, usually stored under the /etc
261 directory.
262
263
264 Paths:
265 /etc/snapper(/.*)?, /etc/sysconfig/snapper
266
267
268 snapperd_data_t
269
270 - Set files with the snapperd_data_t type, if you want to treat the
271 files as snapperd content.
272
273
274 Paths:
275 /mnt/(.*/)?.snapshots(/.*)?, /home/(.*/)?.snapshots(/.*)?, /.snap‐
276 shots(/.*)?, /usr/.snapshots(/.*)?, /var/.snapshots(/.*)?,
277 /etc/.snapshots(/.*)?, /home/.snapshots(/.*)?
278
279
280 snapperd_exec_t
281
282 - Set files with the snapperd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
283 executable to the snapperd_t domain.
284
285
286
287 snapperd_log_t
288
289 - Set files with the snapperd_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
290 as snapperd log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
291
292
293
294 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
295 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
296 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
297 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
298
299
301 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
302 mappings.
303
304 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
305 process type is permissive.
306
307 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
308 icy modules.
309
310 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
311
312
313 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
314 icy settings.
