6 ptp4l_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ptp4l processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ptp4l processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The ptp4l processes execute with the ptp4l_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 ptp4l_t
19
20
21
23 The ptp4l_t SELinux type can be entered via the ptp4l_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the ptp4l_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/sbin/ptp4l
28
30 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31 system
32
33 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34
35 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
36 ptp4l policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ptp4l pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for ptp4l:
40
41 ptp4l_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a ptp4l_t can be used to make the process
44 type ptp4l_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
45 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46 ated.
47
48
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. ptp4l
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run ptp4l with the tightest access possible.

116 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
117 default.
118
119 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
120
121
122
123 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
124 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
125
126 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
127
128
129
130 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
131 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
132
133 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
134
135
136
138 The SELinux process type ptp4l_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
139 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
140 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 ptp4l policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
199 ptp4l processes in as secure a method as possible.
200
201 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
202
203 SELinux defines the file context types for the ptp4l, 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 ptp4l_unit_file_t '/srv/myptp4l_content(/.*)?'
209 restorecon -R -v /srv/myptp4l_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 ptp4l:
215
216
217
218 ptp4l_exec_t
219
220 - Set files with the ptp4l_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
221 executable to the ptp4l_t domain.
222
223
224
225 ptp4l_unit_file_t
226
227 - Set files with the ptp4l_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
228 files as ptp4l unit content.
229
230
231
232 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
233 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
234 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
235 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
236
237
239 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
240 mappings.
241
242 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
243 process type is permissive.
244
245 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
246 icy modules.
247
248 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
249
250
251 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
252 icy settings.
