6 virtlogd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the virtlogd pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the virtlogd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The virtlogd processes execute with the virtlogd_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 virtlogd_t
20
21
22
24 The virtlogd_t SELinux type can be entered via the virtlogd_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the virtlogd_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/virtlogd
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 virtlogd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their virtlogd
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for virtlogd:
43
44 virtlogd_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a virtlogd_t can be used to make the process
47 type virtlogd_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. virt‐
54 logd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run virtlogd with the tightest access
56 possible.

240 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
241 type.
242
243 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
244
245 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
246 SELinux virtlogd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
247 virtlogd processes in as secure a method as possible.
248
249 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
250
251 SELinux defines the file context types for the virtlogd, if you wanted
252 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
253 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
254 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
255
256 semanage fcontext -a -t virtlogd_var_run_t '/srv/myvirtlogd_con‐
257 tent(/.*)?'
258 restorecon -R -v /srv/myvirtlogd_content
259
260 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
261 match multiple files.
262
263 The following file types are defined for virtlogd:
264
265
266
267 virtlogd_etc_t
268
269 - Set files with the virtlogd_etc_t type, if you want to store virtlogd
270 files in the /etc directories.
271
272
273
274 virtlogd_exec_t
275
276 - Set files with the virtlogd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
277 executable to the virtlogd_t domain.
278
279
280
281 virtlogd_initrc_exec_t
282
283 - Set files with the virtlogd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
284 sition an executable to the virtlogd_initrc_t domain.
285
286
287
288 virtlogd_unit_file_t
289
290 - Set files with the virtlogd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
291 the files as virtlogd unit content.
292
293
294
295 virtlogd_var_run_t
296
297 - Set files with the virtlogd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
298 virtlogd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
299
300
301 Paths:
302 /var/run/virtlogd.pid, /var/run/libvirt/virtlogd-sock
303
304
305 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
306 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
307 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
308 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
309
310
312 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
313 mappings.
314
315 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
316 process type is permissive.
317
318 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
319 icy modules.
320
321 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
322
323
324 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
325 icy settings.
