6 smbcontrol_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the smbcontrol
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the smbcontrol processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The smbcontrol processes execute with the smbcontrol_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 smbcontrol_t
20
21
22
24 The smbcontrol_t SELinux type can be entered via the smbcontrol_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the smbcontrol_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/bin/smbcontrol
31
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 smbcontrol policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their smb‐
40 control processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for smbcontrol:
43
44 smbcontrol_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a smbcontrol_t can be used to make the
47 process type smbcontrol_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. smbcon‐
54 trol policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run smbcontrol with the tightest
56 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
64
65
66
68 The SELinux process type smbcontrol_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 samba_var_t
73
74 /var/nmbd(/.*)?
75 /var/lib/samba(/.*)?
76 /var/cache/samba(/.*)?
77
78
80 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
81 type.
82
83 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
84
85 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
86 SELinux smbcontrol policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
87 their smbcontrol processes in as secure a method as possible.
88
89 The following file types are defined for smbcontrol:
90
91
92
93 smbcontrol_exec_t
94
95 - Set files with the smbcontrol_exec_t type, if you want to transition
96 an executable to the smbcontrol_t domain.
97
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
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.
