6 journalctl_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the journalctl
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the journalctl processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The journalctl processes execute with the journalctl_t SELinux type.
14 You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
15 command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep journalctl_t
20
21
22
24 The journalctl_t SELinux type can be entered via the journalctl_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the journalctl_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/bin/journalctl
31
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 journalctl policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their jour‐
40 nalctl processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for journalctl:
43
44 journalctl_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a journalctl_t can be used to make the
47 process type journalctl_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. jour‐
54 nalctl policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run journalctl with the tightest
56 access possible.
57
58
59
60 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‐
62 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
63
64 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
69 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
76 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
79
80
81
82 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
83 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
84
85 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
86
87
88
89 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
90 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
91
92 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
93
94
95
96 If you want to support NFS home directories, you must turn on the
97 use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
98
99 setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
100
101
102
103 If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the
104 use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
105
106 setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1
107
108
109
111 The SELinux process type journalctl_t can manage files labeled with the
112 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
113 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
114
115 user_home_type
116
117 all user home files
118
119
121 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
122 type.
123
124 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
125
126 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
127 SELinux journalctl policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
128 their journalctl processes in as secure a method as possible.
129
130 The following file types are defined for journalctl:
131
132
133
134 journalctl_exec_t
135
136 - Set files with the journalctl_exec_t type, if you want to transition
137 an executable to the journalctl_t domain.
138
139
140
141 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
142 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
143 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
144 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
145
146
148 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
149 mappings.
150
151 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
152 process type is permissive.
153
154 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
155 icy modules.
156
157 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
158
159
160 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
161 icy settings.
