6 named_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the named processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the named processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The named processes execute with the named_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 named_t
19
20
21
23 The named_t SELinux type can be entered via the named_checkconf_exec_t,
24 named_exec_t file types.
25
26 The default entrypoint paths for the named_t domain are the following:
27
28 /usr/sbin/named-checkconf, /usr/sbin/named, /usr/sbin/lwresd,
29 /usr/sbin/unbound, /usr/sbin/named-sdb, /usr/sbin/named-pkcs11,
30 /usr/sbin/unbound-anchor, /usr/sbin/unbound-control, /usr/sbin/unbound-
31 checkconf
32
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 named policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their named pro‐
41 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for named:
44
45 named_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a named_t can be used to make the process
48 type named_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
49 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
50 ated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. named
55 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
56 manipulate the policy and run named with the tightest access possible.
57
58
59
60 If you want to determine whether Bind can bind tcp socket to http
61 ports, you must turn on the named_tcp_bind_http_port boolean. Disabled
62 by default.
63
64 setsebool -P named_tcp_bind_http_port 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to determine whether Bind can write to master zone files.
69 Generally this is used for dynamic DNS or zone transfers, you must turn
70 on the named_write_master_zones boolean. Disabled by default.
71
72 setsebool -P named_write_master_zones 1
73
74
75
76 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
77 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
78 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
79
80 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
81
82
83
84 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
85 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
86
87 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
88
89
90
91 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
92 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
93
94 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
95
96
97
98 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
99 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
100
101 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
102
103
104
105 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
106 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
107
108 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
109
110
111
113 The SELinux process type named_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
114 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
115 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

215 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
216 type.
217
218 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
219
220 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
221 SELinux named policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
222 named processes in as secure a method as possible.
223
224 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
225
226
227 named policy stores data with multiple different file context types
228 under the /var/named directory. If you would like to store the data in
229 a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
230 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
231 dirctory you would execute the following command:
232
233 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/named /srv/named
234 restorecon -R -v /srv/named
235
236 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
237
238 SELinux defines the file context types for the named, if you wanted to
239 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
240 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
241 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
242
243 semanage fcontext -a -t named_zone_t '/srv/mynamed_content(/.*)?'
244 restorecon -R -v /srv/mynamed_content
245
246 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
247 match multiple files.
248
249 The following file types are defined for named:
250
251
252

371
372 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
373 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
374 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
375 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
376
377
379 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
380 mappings.
381
382 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
383 process type is permissive.
384
385 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
386 icy modules.
387
388 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
389
390
391 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
392 icy settings.
