NAME

6       named_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the named processes
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the named processes via flexible manda‐
10       tory access control.
11
12       The named processes execute with the  named_t  SELinux  type.  You  can
13       check  if  you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14       with the -Z qualifier.
15
16       For example:
17
18       ps -eZ | grep named_t
19
20
21

ENTRYPOINTS

23       The named_t SELinux type can be entered via the named_checkconf_exec_t,
24       named_exec_t file types.
25
26       The default entrypoint paths for the named_t domain are the following:
27
28       /usr/sbin/named-checkconf,      /usr/sbin/named,      /usr/sbin/lwresd,
29       /usr/sbin/unbound,     /usr/sbin/named-sdb,     /usr/sbin/named-pkcs11,
30       /usr/sbin/unbound-anchor, /usr/sbin/unbound-control, /usr/sbin/unbound-
31       checkconf
32

PROCESS TYPES

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       named policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their named  pro‐
41       cesses in as secure a method as possible.
42
43       The following process types are defined for named:
44
45       named_t
46
47       Note:  semanage  permissive  -a named_t can be used to make the process
48       type named_t permissive. SELinux does not  deny  access  to  permissive
49       process  types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
50       ated.
51
52

BOOLEANS

54       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access  required.   named
55       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
56       manipulate the policy and run named with the tightest access possible.

MANAGED FILES

187       The SELinux process type named_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
188       lowing  file  types.   The paths listed are the default paths for these
189       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

289       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
290       type.
291
292       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
293
294       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
295       SELinux named policy is very flexible allowing  users  to  setup  their
296       named processes in as secure a method as possible.
297
298       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
299
300
301       named  policy  stores  data  with multiple different file context types
302       under the /var/named directory.  If you would like to store the data in
303       a  different  directory  you  can use the semanage command to create an
304       equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to store this data under  the  /srv
305       dirctory you would execute the following command:
306
307       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/named /srv/named
308       restorecon -R -v /srv/named
309
310       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
311
312       SELinux  defines the file context types for the named, if you wanted to
313       store files with these types in a diffent paths, you  need  to  execute
314       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
315       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
316
317       semanage fcontext -a -t named_zone_t '/srv/mynamed_content(/.*)?'
318       restorecon -R -v /srv/mynamed_content
319
320       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
321       match multiple files.
322
323       The following file types are defined for named:
324

445
446       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
447       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
448       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
449       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
450
451

COMMANDS

453       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
454       mappings.
