NAME

6       checkpc_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the checkpc pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures  the  checkpc  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  checkpc processes execute with the checkpc_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 checkpc_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  checkpc_t  SELinux type can be entered via the checkpc_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the checkpc_t domain are  the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/sbin/checkpc
31

PROCESS TYPES

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       checkpc  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their checkpc
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for checkpc:
43
44       checkpc_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a checkpc_t can be used to make the  process
47       type  checkpc_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48       process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still  gener‐
49       ated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.  checkpc
54       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55       manipulate  the  policy and run checkpc with the tightest access possi‐
56       ble.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
61       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64
65
66
67       If  you  want  to  allow  system  to run with NIS, you must turn on the
68       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
71
72
73

MANAGED FILES

75       The SELinux process type checkpc_t can manage files  labeled  with  the
76       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
77       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
78
79       print_spool_t
80
81            /var/spool/lpd(/.*)?
82            /var/spool/cups(/.*)?
83            /var/spool/cups-pdf(/.*)?
84
85

FILE CONTEXTS

87       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
88       type.
89
90       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
91
92       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
93       SELinux checkpc policy is very flexible allowing users to  setup  their
94       checkpc processes in as secure a method as possible.
95
96       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
97
98       SELinux  defines  the file context types for the checkpc, if you wanted
99       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
100       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
101       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
102
103       semanage fcontext -a -t checkpc_log_t '/srv/mycheckpc_content(/.*)?'
104       restorecon -R -v /srv/mycheckpc_content
105
106       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
107       match multiple files.
108
109       The following file types are defined for checkpc:
110
111
112
113       checkpc_exec_t
114
115       -  Set files with the checkpc_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
116       executable to the checkpc_t domain.
117
118
119
120       checkpc_log_t
121
122       - Set files with the checkpc_log_t type, if you want to treat the  data
123       as checkpc log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
124
125
126
127       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
128       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
129       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
130       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
131
132

COMMANDS

134       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
135       mappings.
136
137       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
138       process type is permissive.
139
140       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
141       icy modules.
142
143       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
144
145
146       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
147       icy settings.
