6 snmpd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the snmpd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the snmpd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The snmpd processes execute with the snmpd_t SELinux type. You can
13 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14 with the -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep snmpd_t
19
20
21
23 The snmpd_t SELinux type can be entered via the snmpd_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the snmpd_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/sbin/snmpd, /usr/sbin/snmptrapd
28
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 snmpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their snmpd pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for snmpd:
40
41 snmpd_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a snmpd_t can be used to make the process
44 type snmpd_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
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. snmpd
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run snmpd with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
57 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
58 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
59
60 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
61
62
63
64 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
65 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
66
67 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
68
69
70
71 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
72 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
73
74 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
75
76
77
78 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
79 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
80
81 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
82
83
84
85 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
86 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
87
88 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
89

91
93 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
94
95 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
96 command:
97
98 semanage port -l
99
100
101 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
102 SELinux snmpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
103 snmpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
104
105 The following port types are defined for snmpd:
106
107
108 snmp_port_t
109
110
111
112 Default Defined Ports:
113 tcp 199,1161,161-162
114 udp 161-162
115
117 The SELinux process type snmpd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
118 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
119 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

178 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
179 type.
180
181 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
182
183 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
184 SELinux snmpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
185 snmpd processes in as secure a method as possible.
186
187 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
188
189
190 snmpd policy stores data with multiple different file context types
191 under the /var/run/snmpd directory. If you would like to store the
192 data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
193 ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
194 /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
195
196 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/snmpd /srv/snmpd
197 restorecon -R -v /srv/snmpd
198
199 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
200
201 SELinux defines the file context types for the snmpd, if you wanted to
202 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
203 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
204 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
205
206 semanage fcontext -a -t snmpd_var_lib_t '/srv/mysnmpd_content(/.*)?'
207 restorecon -R -v /srv/mysnmpd_content
208
209 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
210 match multiple files.
211
212 The following file types are defined for snmpd:
213
214
215
216 snmpd_exec_t
217
218 - Set files with the snmpd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
219 executable to the snmpd_t domain.
220
221
222 Paths:
223 /usr/sbin/snmpd, /usr/sbin/snmptrapd
224
225
226 snmpd_initrc_exec_t
227
228 - Set files with the snmpd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
229 tion an executable to the snmpd_initrc_t domain.
230
231
232
233 snmpd_log_t
234
235 - Set files with the snmpd_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
236 snmpd log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
237
238
239
240 snmpd_var_lib_t
241
242 - Set files with the snmpd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
243 snmpd files under the /var/lib directory.
244
245
246 Paths:
247 /var/agentx(/.*)?, /var/net-snmp(/.*), /var/lib/snmp(/.*)?,
248 /var/net-snmp(/.*)?, /var/lib/net-snmp(/.*)?,
249 /var/spool/snmptt(/.*)?, /usr/share/snmp/mibs/.index
250
251
252 snmpd_var_run_t
253
254 - Set files with the snmpd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
255 snmpd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
256
257
258 Paths:
259 /var/run/snmpd(/.*)?, /var/run/net-snmp(/.*)?, /var/run/snmpd.pid
260
261
262 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
263 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
264 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
265 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
266
267
269 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
270 mappings.
271
272 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
273 process type is permissive.
274
275 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
276 icy modules.
277
278 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
279
280 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
281
282
283 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
284 icy settings.
