6 aide_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the aide processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the aide processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11 The aide processes execute with the aide_t SELinux type. You can check
13 if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with
14 the -Z qualifier.
15 For example:
17 ps -eZ | grep aide_t
19
23 The aide_t SELinux type can be entered via the aide_exec_t file type.
24 The default entrypoint paths for the aide_t domain are the following:
26 /usr/bin/aide, /usr/sbin/aide
28
30 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31 system
32 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
36 aide policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their aide pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38 The following process types are defined for aide:
40 aide_t
42 Note: semanage permissive -a aide_t can be used to make the process
44 type aide_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
45 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46 ated.
47
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. aide
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run aide with the tightest access possible.
53 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
57 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
58 setsebool -P fips_mode 1

64 The SELinux process type aide_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
65 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
66 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

114 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
115 type.
116 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
118 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
120 SELinux aide policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their aide
121 processes in as secure a method as possible.
122 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
124 aide policy stores data with multiple different file context types
127 under the /var/log/aide directory. If you would like to store the data
128 in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
129 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
130 dirctory you would execute the following command:
131 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/log/aide /srv/aide
133 restorecon -R -v /srv/aide
134 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
136 SELinux defines the file context types for the aide, if you wanted to
138 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
139 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
140 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
141 semanage fcontext -a -t aide_db_t '/srv/myaide_content(/.*)?'
143 restorecon -R -v /srv/myaide_content
144 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
146 match multiple files.
147 The following file types are defined for aide:
149 aide_db_t
153 - Set files with the aide_db_t type, if you want to treat the files as
155 aide database content.
156 aide_exec_t
160 - Set files with the aide_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
162 executable to the aide_t domain.
163 Paths:
166 /usr/bin/aide, /usr/sbin/aide
167 aide_log_t
170 - Set files with the aide_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
172 aide log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
173 Paths:
176 /var/log/aide(/.*)?, /var/log/aide.log.*
177 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
180 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
181 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
182 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
183
186 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
187 mappings.
188 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
190 process type is permissive.
191 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
193 icy modules.
194 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
196 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
199 icy settings.
