NAME

6       auditd_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced  Linux Policy for the auditd pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux  secures  the  auditd  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  auditd  processes  execute with the auditd_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 auditd_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  auditd_t  SELinux  type  can be entered via the auditd_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the auditd_t domain are the following:
28
29       /sbin/auditd, /usr/sbin/auditd
30

PROCESS TYPES

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       auditd policy is very flexible allowing users  to  setup  their  auditd
39       processes in as secure a method as possible.
40
41       The following process types are defined for auditd:
42
43       auditd_t
44
45       Note:  semanage  permissive -a auditd_t can be used to make the process
46       type auditd_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

BOOLEANS

52       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.   auditd
53       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54       manipulate the policy and run auditd 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. Disabled by default.
89
90       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
91
92
93

PORT TYPES

95       SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
96
97       You can see the types associated with a port  by  using  the  following
98       command:
99
100       semanage port -l
101
102
103       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these ports.
104       SELinux auditd policy is very flexible allowing users  to  setup  their
105       auditd processes in as secure a method as possible.
106
107       The following port types are defined for auditd:
108
109
110       audit_port_t
111
112
113
114       Default Defined Ports:
115                 tcp 60
116

MANAGED FILES

118       The  SELinux  process  type  auditd_t can manage files labeled with the
119       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
120       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

178       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
179       type.
180
181       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
182
183       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
184       SELinux  auditd  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their
185       auditd processes in as secure a method as possible.
186
187       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
188
189
190       auditd policy stores data with multiple different  file  context  types
191       under  the  /var/log/audit  directory.   If you would like to store the
192       data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to  cre‐
193       ate an equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to store this data under the
194       /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
195
196       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/log/audit /srv/audit
197       restorecon -R -v /srv/audit
198
199       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
200
201       SELinux defines the file context types for the auditd, if you wanted to
202       store  files  with  these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
203       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
204       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
205
206       semanage   fcontext   -a   -t   auditd_unit_file_t  '/srv/myauditd_con‐
207       tent(/.*)?'
208       restorecon -R -v /srv/myauditd_content
209
210       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
211       match multiple files.
212
213       The following file types are defined for auditd:
214
215
216
217       auditd_etc_t
218
219       -  Set  files  with  the auditd_etc_t type, if you want to store auditd
220       files in the /etc directories.
221
222
223
224       auditd_exec_t
225
226       - Set files with the auditd_exec_t type, if you want to  transition  an
227       executable to the auditd_t domain.
228
229
230       Paths:
231            /sbin/auditd, /usr/sbin/auditd
232
233
234       auditd_initrc_exec_t
235
236       -  Set files with the auditd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
237       tion an executable to the auditd_initrc_t domain.
238
239
240
241       auditd_log_t
242
243       - Set files with the auditd_log_t type, if you want to treat  the  data
244       as auditd log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
245
246
247       Paths:
248            /var/log/audit(/.*)?, /var/log/audit.log.*
249
250
251       auditd_unit_file_t
252
253       -  Set files with the auditd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
254       files as auditd unit content.
255
256
257
258       auditd_var_run_t
259
260       - Set files with the auditd_var_run_t type, if you want  to  store  the
261       auditd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
262
263
264       Paths:
265            /var/run/auditd.pid, /var/run/auditd_sock, /var/run/audit_events
266
267
268       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
269       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
270       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
271       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
272
273

COMMANDS

275       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
276       mappings.
277
278       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
279       process type is permissive.
280
281       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
282       icy modules.
283
284       semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
285
286       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
287
288
289       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
290       icy settings.
