6 tmpreaper_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the tmpreaper
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the tmpreaper processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The tmpreaper processes execute with the tmpreaper_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 tmpreaper_t
20
21
22
24 The tmpreaper_t SELinux type can be entered via the tmpreaper_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the tmpreaper_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/tmpwatch, /usr/sbin/tmpreaper, /etc/rc.d/init.d/mountall-
31 bootclean.sh, /etc/rc.d/init.d/mountnfs-bootclean.sh
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 tmpreaper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
41 tmpreaper processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for tmpreaper:
44
45 tmpreaper_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a tmpreaper_t can be used to make the
48 process type tmpreaper_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
49 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
50 still generated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
55 tmpreaper policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
56 allow you to manipulate the policy and run tmpreaper with the tightest
57 access possible.

168
169
170
172 The SELinux process type tmpreaper_t can manage files labeled with the
173 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
174 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

213 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
214 type.
215
216 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
217
218 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
219 SELinux tmpreaper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
220 tmpreaper processes in as secure a method as possible.
221
222 The following file types are defined for tmpreaper:
223
224
225
226 tmpreaper_exec_t
227
228 - Set files with the tmpreaper_exec_t type, if you want to transition
229 an executable to the tmpreaper_t domain.
230
231
232 Paths:
233 /usr/sbin/tmpwatch, /usr/sbin/tmpreaper, /etc/rc.d/init.d/moun‐
234 tall-bootclean.sh, /etc/rc.d/init.d/mountnfs-bootclean.sh
235
236
237 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
238 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
239 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
240 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
241
242
244 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
245 mappings.
246
247 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
248 process type is permissive.
249
250 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
251 icy modules.
252
253 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
254
255
256 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
257 icy settings.
