6 oddjob_mkhomedir_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the odd‐
7 job_mkhomedir processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the oddjob_mkhomedir processes via
11 flexible mandatory access control.
12
13 The oddjob_mkhomedir processes execute with the oddjob_mkhomedir_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 oddjob_mkhomedir_t
20
21
22
24 The oddjob_mkhomedir_t SELinux type can be entered via the odd‐
25 job_mkhomedir_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the oddjob_mkhomedir_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /usr/lib/oddjob/mkhomedir, /usr/sbin/mkhomedir_helper,
31 /usr/libexec/oddjob/mkhomedir
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 oddjob_mkhomedir policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
41 oddjob_mkhomedir processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for oddjob_mkhomedir:
44
45 oddjob_mkhomedir_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a oddjob_mkhomedir_t can be used to make the
48 process type oddjob_mkhomedir_t permissive. SELinux does not deny
49 access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) mes‐
50 sages are still generated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. odd‐
55 job_mkhomedir policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans
56 that allow you to manipulate the policy and run oddjob_mkhomedir with
57 the 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. Disabled by default.
92
93 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
94
95
96
98 The SELinux process type oddjob_mkhomedir_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 cifs_t
104
105
106 ecryptfs_t
107
108 /home/[^/]+/.Private(/.*)?
109 /home/[^/]+/.ecryptfs(/.*)?
110
111 fusefs_t

120 /selinux
121
122 user_home_type
123
124 all user home files
125
126
128 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
129 type.
130
131 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
132
133 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
134 SELinux oddjob_mkhomedir policy is very flexible allowing users to set‐
135 up their oddjob_mkhomedir processes in as secure a method as possible.
136
137 The following file types are defined for oddjob_mkhomedir:
138
139
140
141 oddjob_mkhomedir_exec_t
142
143 - Set files with the oddjob_mkhomedir_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
144 sition an executable to the oddjob_mkhomedir_t domain.
145
146
147 Paths:
148 /usr/lib/oddjob/mkhomedir, /usr/sbin/mkhomedir_helper,
149 /usr/libexec/oddjob/mkhomedir
150
151
152 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
153 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
154 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
155 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
156
157
159 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
160 mappings.
161
162 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
163 process type is permissive.
164
165 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
166 icy modules.
167
168 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
169
170
171 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
172 icy settings.
