6 shorewall_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the shorewall
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the shorewall processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The shorewall processes execute with the shorewall_t SELinux type. You
14 can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps com‐
15 mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep shorewall_t
20
21
22
24 The shorewall_t SELinux type can be entered via the shore‐
25 wall_var_lib_t, shorewall_exec_t file types.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the shorewall_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /var/lib/shorewall(/.*)?, /var/lib/shorewall6(/.*)?, /var/lib/shore‐
31 wall-lite(/.*)?, /sbin/shorewall6?, /usr/sbin/shorewall6?, /sbin/shore‐
32 wall-lite, /usr/sbin/shorewall-lite
33
35 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
36 system
37
38 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
39
40 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
41 shorewall policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their shore‐
42 wall processes in as secure a method as possible.
43
44 The following process types are defined for shorewall:
45
46 shorewall_t
47
48 Note: semanage permissive -a shorewall_t can be used to make the
49 process type shorewall_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
50 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
51 still generated.
52
53
55 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. shore‐
56 wall policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
57 you to manipulate the policy and run shorewall with the tightest access
58 possible.
59
60
61
62 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
63 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
64 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
65
66 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
67
68
69
70 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
71 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
72
73 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
74
75
76
77 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
78 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
79
80 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
81
82
83
84 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
85 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
86
87 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
88
89
90
91 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
92 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
93
94 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
95
96
97
99 The SELinux process type shorewall_t can manage files labeled with the
100 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
101 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

164 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
165 type.
166
167 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
168
169 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
170 SELinux shorewall policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
171 shorewall processes in as secure a method as possible.
172
173 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
174
175
176 shorewall policy stores data with multiple different file context types
177 under the /var/lib/shorewall directory. If you would like to store the
178 data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
179 ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
180 /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
181
182 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/shorewall /srv/shorewall
183 restorecon -R -v /srv/shorewall
184
185 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
186
187 SELinux defines the file context types for the shorewall, if you wanted
188 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
189 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
190 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
191
192 semanage fcontext -a -t shorewall_log_t '/srv/myshorewall_con‐
193 tent(/.*)?'
194 restorecon -R -v /srv/myshorewall_content
195
196 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
197 match multiple files.
198
199 The following file types are defined for shorewall:
200
201
202
203 shorewall_etc_t
204
205 - Set files with the shorewall_etc_t type, if you want to store shore‐
206 wall files in the /etc directories.
207
208
209 Paths:
210 /etc/shorewall(/.*)?, /etc/shorewall6(/.*)?, /etc/shorewall-
211 lite(/.*)?
212
213
214 shorewall_exec_t
215
216 - Set files with the shorewall_exec_t type, if you want to transition
217 an executable to the shorewall_t domain.
218
219
220 Paths:
221 /sbin/shorewall6?, /usr/sbin/shorewall6?, /sbin/shorewall-lite,
222 /usr/sbin/shorewall-lite
223
224
225 shorewall_initrc_exec_t
226
227 - Set files with the shorewall_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
228 sition an executable to the shorewall_initrc_t domain.
229
230
231
232 shorewall_lock_t
233
234 - Set files with the shorewall_lock_t type, if you want to treat the
235 files as shorewall lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
236
237
238
239 shorewall_log_t
240
241 - Set files with the shorewall_log_t type, if you want to treat the
242 data as shorewall log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
243 tory.
244
245
246
247 shorewall_tmp_t
248
249 - Set files with the shorewall_tmp_t type, if you want to store shore‐
250 wall temporary files in the /tmp directories.
251
252
253
254 shorewall_var_lib_t
255
256 - Set files with the shorewall_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
257 shorewall files under the /var/lib directory.
258
259
260 Paths:
261 /var/lib/shorewall(/.*)?, /var/lib/shorewall6(/.*)?,
262 /var/lib/shorewall-lite(/.*)?
263
264
265 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
266 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
267 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
268 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
269
270
272 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
273 mappings.
274
275 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
276 process type is permissive.
277
278 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
279 icy modules.
280
281 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
282
283
284 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
285 icy settings.
