6 denyhosts_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the denyhosts
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the denyhosts processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The denyhosts processes execute with the denyhosts_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 denyhosts_t
20
21
22
24 The denyhosts_t SELinux type can be entered via the denyhosts_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the denyhosts_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/bin/denyhosts.py
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 denyhosts policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their deny‐
40 hosts processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for denyhosts:
43
44 denyhosts_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a denyhosts_t can be used to make the
47 process type denyhosts_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 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. deny‐
54 hosts policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run denyhosts with the tightest access
56 possible.

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

238 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
239 type.
240
241 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
242
243 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
244 SELinux denyhosts policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
245 denyhosts processes in as secure a method as possible.
246
247 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
248
249 SELinux defines the file context types for the denyhosts, if you wanted
250 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
251 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
252 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
253
254 semanage fcontext -a -t denyhosts_var_log_t '/srv/mydenyhosts_con‐
255 tent(/.*)?'
256 restorecon -R -v /srv/mydenyhosts_content
257
258 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
259 match multiple files.
260
261 The following file types are defined for denyhosts:
262
263
264
265 denyhosts_exec_t
266
267 - Set files with the denyhosts_exec_t type, if you want to transition
268 an executable to the denyhosts_t domain.
269
270
271
272 denyhosts_initrc_exec_t
273
274 - Set files with the denyhosts_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
275 sition an executable to the denyhosts_initrc_t domain.
276
277
278
279 denyhosts_var_lib_t
280
281 - Set files with the denyhosts_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
282 denyhosts files under the /var/lib directory.
283
284
285
286 denyhosts_var_lock_t
287
288 - Set files with the denyhosts_var_lock_t type, if you want to treat
289 the files as denyhosts var lock data, stored under the /var/lock direc‐
290 tory
291
292
293
294 denyhosts_var_log_t
295
296 - Set files with the denyhosts_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the
297 data as denyhosts var log data, usually stored under the /var/log
298 directory.
299
300
301
302 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
303 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
304 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
305 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
306
307
309 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
310 mappings.
311
312 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
313 process type is permissive.
314
315 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
316 icy modules.
317
318 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
319
320
321 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
322 icy settings.
