6 fenced_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the fenced pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the fenced processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The fenced processes execute with the fenced_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 fenced_t
20
21
22
24 The fenced_t SELinux type can be entered via the fenced_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the fenced_t domain are the following:
28
29 /usr/sbin/fenced, /usr/sbin/fence_node, /usr/sbin/fence_tool,
30 /usr/sbin/fence_virtd, /usr/sbin/fence_sanlockd, /usr/share/clus‐
31 ter/fence_scsi_check, /usr/share/cluster/fence_mpath_check,
32 /usr/share/cluster/fence_scsi_check.pl, /usr/share/clus‐
33 ter/fence_scsi_check_hardreboot, /usr/share/clus‐
34 ter/fence_mpath_check_hardreboot
35
37 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
38 system
39
40 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
41
42 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
43 fenced policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their fenced
44 processes in as secure a method as possible.
45
46 The following process types are defined for fenced:
47
48 fenced_t
49
50 Note: semanage permissive -a fenced_t can be used to make the process
51 type fenced_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
52 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
53 ated.
54
55
57 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. fenced
58 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
59 manipulate the policy and run fenced with the tightest access possible.

271 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
272 type.
273
274 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
275
276 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
277 SELinux fenced policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
278 fenced processes in as secure a method as possible.
279
280 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
281
282 SELinux defines the file context types for the fenced, if you wanted to
283 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
284 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
285 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
286
287 semanage fcontext -a -t fenced_var_run_t '/srv/myfenced_content(/.*)?'
288 restorecon -R -v /srv/myfenced_content
289
290 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
291 match multiple files.
292
293 The following file types are defined for fenced:
294
295
296
297 fenced_exec_t
298
299 - Set files with the fenced_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
300 executable to the fenced_t domain.
301
302
303 Paths:
304 /usr/sbin/fenced, /usr/sbin/fence_node, /usr/sbin/fence_tool,
305 /usr/sbin/fence_virtd, /usr/sbin/fence_sanlockd, /usr/share/clus‐
306 ter/fence_scsi_check, /usr/share/cluster/fence_mpath_check,
307 /usr/share/cluster/fence_scsi_check.pl, /usr/share/clus‐
308 ter/fence_scsi_check_hardreboot, /usr/share/clus‐
309 ter/fence_mpath_check_hardreboot
310
311
312 fenced_lock_t
313
314 - Set files with the fenced_lock_t type, if you want to treat the files
315 as fenced lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
316
317
318
319 fenced_tmp_t
320
321 - Set files with the fenced_tmp_t type, if you want to store fenced
322 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
323
324
325
326 fenced_tmpfs_t
327
328 - Set files with the fenced_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store fenced
329 files on a tmpfs file system.
330
331
332
333 fenced_var_log_t
334
335 - Set files with the fenced_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the
336 data as fenced var log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
337 tory.
338
339
340
341 fenced_var_run_t
342
343 - Set files with the fenced_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
344 fenced files under the /run or /var/run directory.
345
346
347 Paths:
348 /var/run/fence.*, /var/run/cluster/fence_scsi.*, /var/run/clus‐
349 ter/mpath.devices, /var/run/cluster/fenced_override
350
351
352 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
353 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
354 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
355 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
356
357
359 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
360 mappings.
361
362 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
363 process type is permissive.
364
365 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
366 icy modules.
367
368 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
369
370
371 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
372 icy settings.
