6 systemd_initctl_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the sys‐
7 temd_initctl processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the systemd_initctl processes via flex‐
11 ible mandatory access control.
12 The systemd_initctl processes execute with the systemd_initctl_t
14 SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe‐
15 cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep systemd_initctl_t
20
24 The systemd_initctl_t SELinux type can be entered via the sys‐
25 temd_initctl_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the systemd_initctl_t domain are the
28 following:
29 /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-initctl
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 systemd_initctl policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 systemd_initctl processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for systemd_initctl:
43 systemd_initctl_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a systemd_initctl_t can be used to make the
47 process type systemd_initctl_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48 to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. sys‐
54 temd_initctl policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run systemd_initctl with the
56 tightest access possible.
57 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
61 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐

109 If you want to allow all domains write to kmsg_device, while kernel is
113 executed with systemd.log_target=kmsg parameter, you must turn on the
114 domain_can_write_kmsg boolean. Disabled by default.
115 setsebool -P domain_can_write_kmsg 1
117 If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
121 you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
122 setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
124 If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
128 must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
129 default.
130 setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
132 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
136 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
137 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
139 If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
143 on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
144 setsebool -P global_ssp 1
146 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
150 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
151 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
153 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
157 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
158 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
160 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
164 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
165 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

171 The SELinux process type systemd_initctl_t can manage files labeled
172 with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths
173 for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC
174 permissions.
175 cluster_conf_t
177 /etc/cluster(/.*)?

213 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
214 type.
215 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
217 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
219 SELinux systemd_initctl policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
220 their systemd_initctl processes in as secure a method as possible.
221 The following file types are defined for systemd_initctl:
223 systemd_initctl_exec_t
227 - Set files with the systemd_initctl_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
229 sition an executable to the systemd_initctl_t domain.
230 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
234 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
235 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
236 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
237
240 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
241 mappings.
242 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
244 process type is permissive.
245 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
247 icy modules.
248 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
250 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
253 icy settings.
