6 ninfod_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ninfod pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ninfod processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The ninfod processes execute with the ninfod_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 ninfod_t
20
21
22
24 The ninfod_t SELinux type can be entered via the ninfod_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the ninfod_t domain are the following:
28
29 /usr/sbin/ninfod
30
32 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
33 system
34
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
36
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
38 ninfod policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ninfod
39 processes in as secure a method as possible.
40
41 The following process types are defined for ninfod:
42
43 ninfod_t
44
45 Note: semanage permissive -a ninfod_t can be used to make the process
46 type ninfod_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
47 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
48 ated.
49
50
52 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. ninfod
53 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54 manipulate the policy and run ninfod with the tightest access possible.
55
56
57
58 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
59 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
60 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
61
62 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
63
64
65
66 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
67 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
68
69 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
70
71
72
73 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
74 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
75
76 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
77
78
79
80 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
81 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
82
83 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
84
85
86
87 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
88 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
89
90 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
91
92
93
95 The SELinux process type ninfod_t can manage files labeled with the
96 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
97 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

140 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
141 type.
142
143 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
144
145 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
146 SELinux ninfod policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
147 ninfod processes in as secure a method as possible.
148
149 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
150
151 SELinux defines the file context types for the ninfod, if you wanted to
152 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
153 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
154 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
155
156 semanage fcontext -a -t ninfod_unit_file_t '/srv/myninfod_con‐
157 tent(/.*)?'
158 restorecon -R -v /srv/myninfod_content
159
160 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
161 match multiple files.
162
163 The following file types are defined for ninfod:
164
165
166
167 ninfod_exec_t
168
169 - Set files with the ninfod_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
170 executable to the ninfod_t domain.
171
172
173
174 ninfod_run_t
175
176 - Set files with the ninfod_run_t type, if you want to treat the files
177 as ninfod run data.
178
179
180
181 ninfod_unit_file_t
182
183 - Set files with the ninfod_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
184 files as ninfod unit content.
185
186
187
188 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
189 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
190 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
191 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
192
193
195 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
196 mappings.
197
198 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
199 process type is permissive.
200
201 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
202 icy modules.
203
204 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
205
206
207 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
208 icy settings.
