7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the gconfd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The gconfd processes execute with the gconfd_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep gconfd_t
20
21
22
24 The gconfd_t SELinux type can be entered via the gconfd_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the gconfd_t domain are the following:
28
29
30
32 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
33 system
34
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
36
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
38 gconfd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their gconfd
39 processes in as secure a method as possible.
40
41 The following process types are defined for gconfd:
42
43 gconfd_t, gconfdefaultsm_t
44
45 Note: semanage permissive -a gconfd_t can be used to make the process
46 type gconfd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
47 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
48 ated.
49
50
52 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. gconfd
53 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54 manipulate the policy and run gconfd with the tightest access possible.
55
56
57
58 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
59 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
60
61 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
62
63
64
66 The SELinux process type gconfd_t can manage files labeled with the
67 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
68 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
69
70 gconf_home_t
71
72 /root/.local.*
73 /root/.gconf(d)?(/.*)?
74 /home/[^/]+/.local.*
75 /home/[^/]+/.gconf(d)?(/.*)?
76
77 gconf_tmp_t
78
79 /tmp/gconfd-[^/]+/.*
80
81
83 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
84 type.
85
86 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
87
88 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
89 SELinux gconfd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
90 gconfd processes in as secure a method as possible.
91
92 The following file types are defined for gconfd:
93
94
95
96 gconfd_exec_t
97
98 - Set files with the gconfd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
99 executable to the gconfd_t domain.
100
101
102
103 gconfdefaultsm_exec_t
104
105 - Set files with the gconfdefaultsm_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
106 tion an executable to the gconfdefaultsm_t domain.
107
108
109
110 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
111 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
112 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
113 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
114
115
117 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
118 mappings.
119
120 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
121 process type is permissive.
122
123 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
124 icy modules.
125
126 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
127
128
129 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
130 icy settings.
