6 ssh_keygen_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ssh_keygen
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ssh_keygen processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The ssh_keygen processes execute with the ssh_keygen_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep ssh_keygen_t
20
21
22
24 The ssh_keygen_t SELinux type can be entered via the ssh_keygen_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the ssh_keygen_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/bin/ssh-keygen
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 ssh_keygen policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 ssh_keygen processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for ssh_keygen:
43
44 ssh_keygen_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a ssh_keygen_t can be used to make the
47 process type ssh_keygen_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 ssh_keygen policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run ssh_keygen with the tightest
56 access possible.

230 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
231 type.
232
233 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
234
235 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
236 SELinux ssh_keygen policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
237 their ssh_keygen processes in as secure a method as possible.
238
239 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
240
241 SELinux defines the file context types for the ssh_keygen, if you
242 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
243 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
244 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
245
246 semanage fcontext -a -t ssh_keygen_tmp_t '/srv/myssh_keygen_con‐
247 tent(/.*)?'
248 restorecon -R -v /srv/myssh_keygen_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 ssh_keygen:
254
255
256
257 ssh_keygen_exec_t
258
259 - Set files with the ssh_keygen_exec_t type, if you want to transition
260 an executable to the ssh_keygen_t domain.
261
262
263
264 ssh_keygen_tmp_t
265
266 - Set files with the ssh_keygen_tmp_t type, if you want to store ssh
267 keygen temporary files in the /tmp directories.
268
269
270
271 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
272 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
273 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
274 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
275
276
278 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
279 mappings.
280
281 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
282 process type is permissive.
283
284 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
285 icy modules.
286
287 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
288
289
290 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
291 icy settings.
