NAME

6       ptchown_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ptchown pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures  the  ptchown  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  ptchown processes execute with the ptchown_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 ptchown_t

22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  ptchown_t  SELinux type can be entered via the ptchown_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the ptchown_t domain are  the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/lib/pt_chown, /usr/libexec/pt_chown
31

PROCESS TYPES

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

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.  ptchown
54       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55       manipulate  the  policy and run ptchown with the tightest access possi‐
56       ble.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
61       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63       setsebool -P fips_mode 1

MANAGED FILES

68       The  SELinux  process  type ptchown_t can manage files labeled with the
69       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
70       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
71
72       anon_inodefs_t
73

75

FILE CONTEXTS

77       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
78       type.
79
80       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
81
82       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
83       SELinux  ptchown  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
84       ptchown processes in as secure a method as possible.
85
86       The following file types are defined for ptchown:
87
88
89
90       ptchown_exec_t
91
92       - Set files with the ptchown_exec_t type, if you want to transition  an
93       executable to the ptchown_t domain.
94
95
96       Paths:
97            /usr/lib/pt_chown, /usr/libexec/pt_chown
98
99
100       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
101       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
102       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
103       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
104
105

COMMANDS

107       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
108       mappings.
109
110       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
111       process type is permissive.
112
113       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
114       icy modules.
115
116       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
117
118
119       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
120       icy settings.
