NAME

6       pdns_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pdns processes
7

DESCRIPTION

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

ENTRYPOINTS

23       The pdns_t SELinux type can be entered via the pdns_exec_t file type.
24
25       The default entrypoint paths for the pdns_t domain are the following:
26
27       /usr/sbin/pdns_server
28

PROCESS TYPES

30       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31       system
32
33       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34
35       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
36       pdns policy is very flexible allowing users to setup  their  pdns  pro‐
37       cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39       The following process types are defined for pdns:
40
41       pdns_t, pdns_control_t
42
43       Note:  semanage  permissive  -a  pdns_t can be used to make the process
44       type pdns_t permissive. SELinux does  not  deny  access  to  permissive
45       process  types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46       ated.
47
48

BOOLEANS

50       SELinux policy is customizable based on least  access  required.   pdns
51       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52       manipulate the policy and run pdns with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56       If you want to allow PowerDNS to connect to databases over the network,
57       you  must  turn on the pdns_can_network_connect_db boolean. Disabled by
58       default.
59
60       setsebool -P pdns_can_network_connect_db 1
61
62
63
64       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
65       ldap  rather  then  using  a  sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
66       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
67
68       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
69
70
71
72       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
73       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
74
75       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
76
77
78
79       If  you  want  to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
80       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
81
82       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
83
84
85
86       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
87       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
88
89       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
90
91
92
93       If  you  want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
94       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
95
96       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
97
98

MANAGED FILES

101       The SELinux process type pdns_t can manage files labeled with the  fol‐
102       lowing  file  types.   The paths listed are the default paths for these
103       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

147       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
148       type.
149
150       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
151
152       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
153       SELinux pdns policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their pdns
154       processes in as secure a method as possible.
155
156       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
157
158       SELinux  defines  the file context types for the pdns, if you wanted to
159       store files with these types in a diffent paths, you  need  to  execute
160       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
161       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
162
163       semanage fcontext -a -t pdns_var_run_t '/srv/mypdns_content(/.*)?'
164       restorecon -R -v /srv/mypdns_content
165
166       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
167       match multiple files.
168
169       The following file types are defined for pdns:
170
171
172
173       pdns_conf_t
174
175       -  Set  files with the pdns_conf_t type, if you want to treat the files
176       as pdns configuration data, usually stored under the /etc directory.
177
178
179
180       pdns_control_exec_t
181
182       - Set files with the pdns_control_exec_t type, if you want  to  transi‐
183       tion an executable to the pdns_control_t domain.
184
185
186
187       pdns_exec_t
188
189       -  Set  files  with  the pdns_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
190       executable to the pdns_t domain.
191
192
193
194       pdns_unit_file_t
195
196       - Set files with the pdns_unit_file_t type, if you want  to  treat  the
197       files as pdns unit content.
198
199
200
201       pdns_var_run_t
202
203       - Set files with the pdns_var_run_t type, if you want to store the pdns
204       files under the /run or /var/run directory.
205
206
207       Paths:
208            /var/run/pdns.pid, /var/run/pdns.controlsocket
209
210
211       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
212       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
213       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
214       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
215
216

COMMANDS

218       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
219       mappings.
220
221       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
222       process type is permissive.
223
224       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
225       icy modules.
226
227       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
228
229
230       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
231       icy settings.
