6 sysadm_ssh_agent_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 sysadm_ssh_agent processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the sysadm_ssh_agent processes via
11 flexible mandatory access control.
12
13 The sysadm_ssh_agent processes execute with the sysadm_ssh_agent_t
14 SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe‐
15 cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep sysadm_ssh_agent_t
20
21
22
24 The sysadm_ssh_agent_t SELinux type can be entered via the
25 ssh_agent_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the sysadm_ssh_agent_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /usr/bin/ssh-agent
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 sysadm_ssh_agent policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 sysadm_ssh_agent processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for sysadm_ssh_agent:
43
44 sysadm_ssh_agent_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a sysadm_ssh_agent_t can be used to make the
47 process type sysadm_ssh_agent_t permissive. SELinux does not deny
48 access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) mes‐
49 sages are still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 sysadm_ssh_agent policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans
55 that allow you to manipulate the policy and run sysadm_ssh_agent with
56 the tightest 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
97 The SELinux process type sysadm_ssh_agent_t can manage files labeled
98 with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths
99 for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC
100 permissions.
101
102 cifs_t
103
104
105 ecryptfs_t
106
107 /home/[^/]+/.Private(/.*)?
108 /home/[^/]+/.ecryptfs(/.*)?
109
110 fusefs_t
111
112 /var/run/user/[^/]*/gvfs
113
114 nfs_t
115
116
117
119 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
120 mappings.
121
122 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
123 process type is permissive.
124
125 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
126 icy modules.
127
128 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
129
130
131 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
132 icy settings.
