NAME

6       policykit_grant_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the poli‐
7       cykit_grant processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the policykit_grant processes via flex‐
11       ible mandatory access control.
12
13       The   policykit_grant  processes  execute  with  the  policykit_grant_t
14       SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe‐
15       cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep policykit_grant_t

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  policykit_grant_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered  via  the poli‐
25       cykit_grant_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the policykit_grant_t domain  are  the
28       following:
29
30       /usr/libexec/polkit-grant-helper.*,    /usr/lib/policykit/polkit-grant-
31       helper.*
32

PROCESS TYPES

34       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35       system
36
37       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
40       policykit_grant policy is very flexible allowing users to  setup  their
41       policykit_grant processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43       The following process types are defined for policykit_grant:
44
45       policykit_grant_t
46
47       Note:  semanage permissive -a policykit_grant_t can be used to make the
48       process type policykit_grant_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
49       to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
50       still generated.
51
52

BOOLEANS

54       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access  required.   poli‐
55       cykit_grant  policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
56       allow you to manipulate the policy and  run  policykit_grant  with  the
57       tightest access possible.
58
59
60
61       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
62       ldap rather then using a sssd server, you  must  turn  on  the  authlo‐
63       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
64
65       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
66
67
68
69       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
70       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
71
72       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
73
74
75
76       If you want to allow confined applications to run  with  kerberos,  you
77       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
78
79       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
80
81
82
83       If  you  want  to  allow  system  to run with NIS, you must turn on the
84       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
85
86       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
87
88
89
90       If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd  shared  memory,
91       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
92
93       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

MANAGED FILES

98       The  SELinux  process  type  policykit_grant_t can manage files labeled
99       with the following file types.  The paths listed are the default  paths
100       for  these  file  types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC
101       permissions.
102
103       faillog_t
104
105            /var/log/btmp.*
106            /var/log/faillog.*
107            /var/log/tallylog.*
108            /var/run/faillock(/.*)?
109
110       policykit_reload_t
111
112            /var/lib/misc/PolicyKit.reload
113
114       policykit_var_lib_t
115
116            /var/lib/polkit-1(/.*)?
117            /var/lib/PolicyKit(/.*)?
118            /var/lib/PolicyKit-public(/.*)?
119
120       policykit_var_run_t
121
122            /var/run/PolicyKit(/.*)?

FILE CONTEXTS

129       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
130       type.
131
132       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
133
134       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
135       SELinux policykit_grant policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
136       their policykit_grant processes in as secure a method as possible.
137
138       The following file types are defined for policykit_grant:
139
140
141
142       policykit_grant_exec_t
143
144       -  Set files with the policykit_grant_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
145       sition an executable to the policykit_grant_t domain.
146
147
148       Paths:
149            /usr/libexec/polkit-grant-helper.*,     /usr/lib/policykit/polkit-
150            grant-helper.*
151
152
153       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
154       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
155       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
156       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
157
158

COMMANDS

160       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
161       mappings.
162
163       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
164       process type is permissive.
165
166       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
167       icy modules.
168
169       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
170
171
172       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
173       icy settings.
