6 ypserv_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ypserv pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ypserv processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The ypserv processes execute with the ypserv_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep ypserv_t
20
21
22
24 The ypserv_t SELinux type can be entered via the ypserv_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the ypserv_t domain are the following:
28
29 /usr/sbin/ypserv
30
32 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
33 system
34
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
36
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
38 ypserv policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ypserv
39 processes in as secure a method as possible.
40
41 The following process types are defined for ypserv:
42
43 ypserv_t
44
45 Note: semanage permissive -a ypserv_t can be used to make the process
46 type ypserv_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
47 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
48 ated.
49
50
52 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. ypserv
53 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54 manipulate the policy and run ypserv with the tightest access possible.

136
137
138
140 The SELinux process type ypserv_t can manage files labeled with the
141 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
142 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

192 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
193 type.
194
195 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
196
197 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
198 SELinux ypserv policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
199 ypserv processes in as secure a method as possible.
200
201 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
202
203 SELinux defines the file context types for the ypserv, if you wanted to
204 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
205 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
206 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
207
208 semanage fcontext -a -t ypserv_var_run_t '/srv/myypserv_content(/.*)?'
209 restorecon -R -v /srv/myypserv_content
210
211 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
212 match multiple files.
213
214 The following file types are defined for ypserv:
215
216
217
218 ypserv_conf_t
219
220 - Set files with the ypserv_conf_t type, if you want to treat the files
221 as ypserv configuration data, usually stored under the /etc directory.
222
223
224
225 ypserv_exec_t
226
227 - Set files with the ypserv_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
228 executable to the ypserv_t domain.
229
230
231
232 ypserv_tmp_t
233
234 - Set files with the ypserv_tmp_t type, if you want to store ypserv
235 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
236
237
238
239 ypserv_var_run_t
240
241 - Set files with the ypserv_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
242 ypserv files under the /run or /var/run directory.
243
244
245
246 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
247 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
248 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
249 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
250
251
253 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
254 mappings.
255
256 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
257 process type is permissive.
258
259 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
260 icy modules.
261
262 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
263
264
265 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
266 icy settings.
