NAME

6       journalctl_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the journalctl
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the journalctl processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  journalctl  processes  execute with the journalctl_t SELinux type.
14       You can check if you have these processes running by executing  the  ps
15       command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep journalctl_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  journalctl_t SELinux type can be entered via the journalctl_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the journalctl_t domain are  the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /usr/bin/journalctl
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       journalctl  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their jour‐
40       nalctl processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for journalctl:
43
44       journalctl_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a journalctl_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  journalctl_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.  jour‐
54       nalctl policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55       you  to  manipulate  the  policy  and  run journalctl with the tightest
56       access possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
61       ldap  rather  then  using  a  sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
62       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
63
64       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65
66
67
68       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
69       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
70
71       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72
73
74
75       If  you  want  to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
76       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
77
78       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
79
80
81
82       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
83       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
84
85       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
86
87
88
89       If  you  want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
90       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
91
92       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
93
94
95
96       If you want to support NFS home  directories,  you  must  turn  on  the
97       use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
98
99       setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
100
101
102
103       If  you  want  to  support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the
104       use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
105
106       setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1
107

MANAGED FILES

111       The SELinux process type journalctl_t can manage files labeled with the
112       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
113       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
114
115       user_home_type
116
117            all user home files
118
119

FILE CONTEXTS

121       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
122       type.
123
124       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
125
126       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
127       SELinux journalctl policy is very  flexible  allowing  users  to  setup
128       their journalctl processes in as secure a method as possible.
129
130       The following file types are defined for journalctl:
131
132
133
134       journalctl_exec_t
135
136       -  Set files with the journalctl_exec_t type, if you want to transition
137       an executable to the journalctl_t domain.
138
139
140
141       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
142       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
143       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
144       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
145
146

COMMANDS

148       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
149       mappings.
150
151       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
152       process type is permissive.
153
154       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
155       icy modules.
156
157       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
158
159
160       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
161       icy settings.
