6 consolekit_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the consolekit
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the consolekit processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The consolekit processes execute with the consolekit_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 consolekit_t
20
21
22
24 The consolekit_t SELinux type can be entered via the consolekit_exec_t
25 file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the consolekit_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/console-kit-daemon
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 consolekit policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their con‐
40 solekit processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for consolekit:
43
44 consolekit_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a consolekit_t can be used to make the
47 process type consolekit_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. con‐
54 solekit policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run consolekit 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. Disabled 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 allow regular users direct dri device access, you must
97 turn on the selinuxuser_direct_dri_enabled boolean. Disabled by
98 default.
99
100 setsebool -P selinuxuser_direct_dri_enabled 1
101
102
103
104 If you want to allows clients to write to the X server shared memory
105 segments, you must turn on the xserver_clients_write_xshm boolean. Dis‐
106 abled by default.
107
108 setsebool -P xserver_clients_write_xshm 1
109
110
111
113 The SELinux process type consolekit_t can manage files labeled with the
114 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
115 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

191 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
192 type.
193
194 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
195
196 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
197 SELinux consolekit policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
198 their consolekit processes in as secure a method as possible.
199
200 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
201
202 SELinux defines the file context types for the consolekit, if you
203 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
204 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
205 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
206
207 semanage fcontext -a -t consolekit_unit_file_t '/srv/myconsolekit_con‐
208 tent(/.*)?'
209 restorecon -R -v /srv/myconsolekit_content
210
211 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
212 match multiple files.
213
214 The following file types are defined for consolekit:
215
216
217
218 consolekit_exec_t
219
220 - Set files with the consolekit_exec_t type, if you want to transition
221 an executable to the consolekit_t domain.
222
223
224
225 consolekit_log_t
226
227 - Set files with the consolekit_log_t type, if you want to treat the
228 data as consolekit log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
229 tory.
230
231
232
233 consolekit_tmpfs_t
234
235 - Set files with the consolekit_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store con‐
236 solekit files on a tmpfs file system.
237
238
239
240 consolekit_unit_file_t
241
242 - Set files with the consolekit_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
243 the files as consolekit unit content.
244
245
246
247 consolekit_var_run_t
248
249 - Set files with the consolekit_var_run_t type, if you want to store
250 the consolekit files under the /run or /var/run directory.
251
252
253 Paths:
254 /var/run/ConsoleKit(/.*)?, /var/run/consolekit.pid, /var/run/con‐
255 sole-kit-daemon.pid
256
257
258 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
259 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
260 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
261 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
262
263
265 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
266 mappings.
267
268 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
269 process type is permissive.
270
271 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
272 icy modules.
273
274 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
275
276
277 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
278 icy settings.
