6 user_ssh_agent_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 user_ssh_agent processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the user_ssh_agent processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12
13 The user_ssh_agent processes execute with the user_ssh_agent_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep user_ssh_agent_t
20
21
22
24 The user_ssh_agent_t SELinux type can be entered via the
25 ssh_agent_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the user_ssh_agent_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /usr/bin/ssh-agent
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 user_ssh_agent policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 user_ssh_agent processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for user_ssh_agent:
43
44 user_ssh_agent_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a user_ssh_agent_t can be used to make the
47 process type user_ssh_agent_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48 to 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 user_ssh_agent policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans
55 that allow you to manipulate the policy and run user_ssh_agent with the
56 tightest access possible.

61 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐

171 The SELinux process type user_ssh_agent_t can manage files labeled with
172 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
173 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
174 missions.
175
176 cifs_t
177
178
179 ecryptfs_t
180
181 /home/[^/]+/.Private(/.*)?
182 /home/[^/]+/.ecryptfs(/.*)?

193 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
194 mappings.
195
196 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
197 process type is permissive.
198
199 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
200 icy modules.
201
202 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
