NAME

6       afs_vlserver_selinux   -   Security   Enhanced  Linux  Policy  for  the
7       afs_vlserver processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the afs_vlserver processes via flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  afs_vlserver  processes  execute  with  the afs_vlserver_t SELinux
14       type. You can check if you have these processes  running  by  executing
15       the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep afs_vlserver_t

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The    afs_vlserver_t   SELinux   type   can   be   entered   via   the
25       afs_vlserver_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the afs_vlserver_t domain are the fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /usr/afs/bin/vlserver, /usr/libexec/openafs/vlserver
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       afs_vlserver  policy  is  very  flexible  allowing users to setup their
40       afs_vlserver processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for afs_vlserver:
43
44       afs_vlserver_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a afs_vlserver_t can be  used  to  make  the
47       process type afs_vlserver_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux   policy  is  customizable  based  on  least  access  required.
54       afs_vlserver policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55       allow you to manipulate the policy and run afs_vlserver with the tight‐
56       est access possible.
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 afs_vlserver_t can manage files labeled with
69       the following file types.  The paths listed are the default  paths  for
70       these  file  types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
71       missions.
72
73       afs_logfile_t
74
75            /usr/afs/logs(/.*)?
76
77       afs_vl_db_t
78
79            /usr/afs/db/vl.*
80
81

FILE CONTEXTS

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

111

COMMANDS

113       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
114       mappings.
115
116       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
117       process type is permissive.
118
119       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
120       icy modules.
121
122       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
123
124
125       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
126       icy settings.
