6 rwho_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the rwho processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the rwho processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The rwho processes execute with the rwho_t SELinux type. You can check
13 if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with
14 the -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep rwho_t
19
20
21
23 The rwho_t SELinux type can be entered via the rwho_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the rwho_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/sbin/rwhod
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 rwho policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their rwho pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for rwho:
40
41 rwho_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a rwho_t can be used to make the process
44 type rwho_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. rwho
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run rwho 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. Disabled 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
90
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 rwho policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their rwho
103 processes in as secure a method as possible.
104
105 The following port types are defined for rwho:
106
107
108 rwho_port_t
109
110
111
112 Default Defined Ports:
113 udp 513
114
116 The SELinux process type rwho_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
117 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
118 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

161 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
162 type.
163
164 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
165
166 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
167 SELinux rwho policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their rwho
168 processes in as secure a method as possible.
169
170 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
171
172 SELinux defines the file context types for the rwho, if you wanted to
173 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
174 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
175 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
176
177 semanage fcontext -a -t rwho_spool_t '/srv/myrwho_content(/.*)?'
178 restorecon -R -v /srv/myrwho_content
179
180 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
181 match multiple files.
182
183 The following file types are defined for rwho:
184
185
186
187 rwho_exec_t
188
189 - Set files with the rwho_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
190 executable to the rwho_t domain.
191
192
193
194 rwho_initrc_exec_t
195
196 - Set files with the rwho_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition
197 an executable to the rwho_initrc_t domain.
198
199
200
201 rwho_log_t
202
203 - Set files with the rwho_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
204 rwho log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
205
206
207
208 rwho_spool_t
209
210 - Set files with the rwho_spool_t type, if you want to store the rwho
211 files under the /var/spool directory.
212
213
214
215 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
216 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
217 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
218 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
219
220
222 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
223 mappings.
224
225 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
226 process type is permissive.
227
228 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
229 icy modules.
230
231 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
232
233 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
234
235
236 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
237 icy settings.
