NAME

6       logrotate_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the logrotate
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the logrotate  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  logrotate processes execute with the logrotate_t SELinux type. You
14       can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps  com‐
15       mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep logrotate_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  logrotate_t  SELinux  type can be entered via the logrotate_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the logrotate_t domain are the follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /etc/cron.(daily|weekly)/sysklogd, /usr/sbin/logrotate
31

PROCESS TYPES

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       logrotate  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their logro‐
40       tate processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for logrotate:
43
44       logrotate_t, logrotate_mail_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a  logrotate_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  logrotate_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy is customizable based on least access required.  logro‐
54       tate policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that  allow
55       you to manipulate the policy and run logrotate with the tightest access
56       possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow logrotate to read logs inside, you  must  turn  on
61       the logrotate_read_inside_containers boolean. Disabled by default.
62
63       setsebool -P logrotate_read_inside_containers 1
64
65
66
67       If  you  want  to allow logrotate domain to manage fuse files, you must
68       turn on the logrotate_use_fusefs boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P logrotate_use_fusefs 1
71
72
73
74       If you want to allow logrotate to manage nfs files, you  must  turn  on

76
77       setsebool -P logrotate_use_nfs 1
78
79
80
81       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
82       ldap rather then using a sssd server, you  must  turn  on  the  authlo‐
83       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
84
85       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
86
87
88
89       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
90       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
91
92       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
93
94
95
96       If you want to allow confined applications to run  with  kerberos,  you
97       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
98
99       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
100
101
102
103       If  you  want  to  allow  system  to run with NIS, you must turn on the
104       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
105
106       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
107
108
109
110       If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd  shared  memory,
111       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
112
113       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
114
115
116
117       If  you  want  to  support  NFS  home directories, you must turn on the
118       use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Enabled by default.
119
120       setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
121
122
123
124       If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you  must  turn  on  the
125       use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.

MANAGED FILES

132       The  SELinux process type logrotate_t can manage files labeled with the
133       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
134       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

271       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
272       type.
273
274       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
275
276       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
277       SELinux logrotate policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
278       logrotate processes in as secure a method as possible.
279
280       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
281
282
283       logrotate policy stores data with multiple different file context types
284       under the /var/lib/logrotate directory.  If you would like to store the
285       data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to  cre‐
286       ate an equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to store this data under the
287       /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
288
289       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/logrotate /srv/logrotate
290       restorecon -R -v /srv/logrotate
291
292       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
293
294       SELinux defines the file context types for the logrotate, if you wanted
295       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
296       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
297       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
298
299       semanage  fcontext  -a  -t  logrotate_mail_tmp_t '/srv/mylogrotate_con‐
300       tent(/.*)?'
301       restorecon -R -v /srv/mylogrotate_content
302
303       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
304       match multiple files.
305
306       The following file types are defined for logrotate:
307
308
309
310       logrotate_exec_t
311
312       -  Set  files with the logrotate_exec_t type, if you want to transition
313       an executable to the logrotate_t domain.
314
315
316       Paths:
317            /etc/cron.(daily|weekly)/sysklogd, /usr/sbin/logrotate
318
319
320       logrotate_lock_t
321
322       - Set files with the logrotate_lock_t type, if you want  to  treat  the
323       files as logrotate lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
324
325
326
327       logrotate_mail_tmp_t
328
329       -  Set  files  with the logrotate_mail_tmp_t type, if you want to store
330       logrotate mail temporary files in the /tmp directories.
331
332
333
334       logrotate_tmp_t
335
336       - Set files with the logrotate_tmp_t type, if you want to store  logro‐
337       tate temporary files in the /tmp directories.
338
339
340
341       logrotate_var_lib_t
342
343       - Set files with the logrotate_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
344       logrotate files under the /var/lib directory.
345
346
347       Paths:
348            /var/lib/logrotate(/.*)?, /var/lib/logrotate.status.*
349
350
351       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
352       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
353       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
354       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
355
356

COMMANDS

358       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
359       mappings.
360
361       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
362       process type is permissive.
363
364       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
365       icy modules.
366
367       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
368
369
370       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
371       icy settings.
