6 pingd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pingd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the pingd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The pingd processes execute with the pingd_t SELinux type. You can
13 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14 with the -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep pingd_t
19
20
21
23 The pingd_t SELinux type can be entered via the pingd_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the pingd_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/sbin/pingd
28
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 pingd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their pingd pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for pingd:
40
41 ping_t, pingd_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a pingd_t can be used to make the process
44 type pingd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
45 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46 ated.
47
48
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. pingd
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run pingd with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
57 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
58 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
59
60 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
61
62
63
64 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
65 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
66
67 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
68
69
70
71 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
72 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
73
74 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
75
76
77
78 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
79 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
80
81 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
82
83
84
85 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
86 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
87
88 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
89

91
93 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
94
95 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
96 command:
97
98 semanage port -l
99
100
101 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
102 SELinux pingd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
103 pingd processes in as secure a method as possible.
104
105 The following port types are defined for pingd:
106
107
108 pingd_port_t
109
110
111
112 Default Defined Ports:
113 tcp 9125
114
116 The SELinux process type pingd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
117 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
118 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

157 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
158 type.
159
160 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
161
162 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
163 SELinux pingd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
164 pingd processes in as secure a method as possible.
165
166 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
167
168 SELinux defines the file context types for the pingd, if you wanted to
169 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
170 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
171 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
172
173 semanage fcontext -a -t pingd_modules_t '/srv/mypingd_content(/.*)?'
174 restorecon -R -v /srv/mypingd_content
175
176 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
177 match multiple files.
178
179 The following file types are defined for pingd:
180
181
182
183 pingd_etc_t
184
185 - Set files with the pingd_etc_t type, if you want to store pingd files
186 in the /etc directories.
187
188
189
190 pingd_exec_t
191
192 - Set files with the pingd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
193 executable to the pingd_t domain.
194
195
196
197 pingd_initrc_exec_t
198
199 - Set files with the pingd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
200 tion an executable to the pingd_initrc_t domain.
201
202
203
204 pingd_modules_t
205
206 - Set files with the pingd_modules_t type, if you want to treat the
207 files as pingd modules.
208
209
210
211 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
212 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
213 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
214 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
215
216
218 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
219 mappings.
220
221 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
222 process type is permissive.
223
224 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
225 icy modules.
226
227 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
228
229 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
230
231
232 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
233 icy settings.
