NAME

6       aide_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the aide processes
7

DESCRIPTION

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

21

ENTRYPOINTS

23       The aide_t SELinux type can be entered via the aide_exec_t file type.
24
25       The default entrypoint paths for the aide_t domain are the following:
26
27       /usr/bin/aide, /usr/sbin/aide
28

PROCESS TYPES

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       aide policy is very flexible allowing users to setup  their  aide  pro‐
37       cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39       The following process types are defined for aide:
40
41       aide_t
42
43       Note:  semanage  permissive  -a  aide_t can be used to make the process
44       type aide_t permissive. SELinux does  not  deny  access  to  permissive
45       process  types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46       ated.

BOOLEANS

50       SELinux policy is customizable based on least  access  required.   aide
51       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52       manipulate the policy and run aide with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
57       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
58
59       setsebool -P fips_mode 1

MANAGED FILES

64       The  SELinux process type aide_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
65       lowing file types.  The paths listed are the default  paths  for  these
66       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
67
68       aide_db_t
69
70            /var/lib/aide(/.*)?
71
72       aide_log_t
73
74            /var/log/aide(/.*)?
75            /var/log/aide.log.*
76
77

FILE CONTEXTS

79       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
80       type.
81
82       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
83
84       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
85       SELinux aide policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their aide
86       processes in as secure a method as possible.
87
88       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
89
90
91       aide policy stores data with  multiple  different  file  context  types
92       under the /var/log/aide directory.  If you would like to store the data
93       in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create  an
94       equivalence  mapping.   If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
95       dirctory you would execute the following command:
96
97       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/log/aide /srv/aide
98       restorecon -R -v /srv/aide
99
100       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
101
102       SELinux defines the file context types for the aide, if you  wanted  to
103       store  files  with  these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
104       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
105       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
106
107       semanage fcontext -a -t aide_db_t '/srv/myaide_content(/.*)?'
108       restorecon -R -v /srv/myaide_content
109
110       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
111       match multiple files.
112
113       The following file types are defined for aide:
114
115
116
117       aide_db_t
118
119       - Set files with the aide_db_t type, if you want to treat the files  as
120       aide database content.
121
122
123
124       aide_exec_t
125
126       -  Set  files  with  the aide_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
127       executable to the aide_t domain.
128
129
130       Paths:
131            /usr/bin/aide, /usr/sbin/aide
132
133
134       aide_log_t
135
136       - Set files with the aide_log_t type, if you want to treat the data  as
137       aide log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
138
139
140       Paths:
141            /var/log/aide(/.*)?, /var/log/aide.log.*
142
143
144       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
145       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
146       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
147       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

149

COMMANDS

151       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
152       mappings.
153
154       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
155       process type is permissive.
156
157       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
158       icy modules.
159
160       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
161
162
163       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
164       icy settings.
