NAME

6       watchdog_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the watchdog pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the  watchdog  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  watchdog  processes  execute with the watchdog_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 watchdog_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The watchdog_t SELinux type can be entered via the watchdog_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the watchdog_t domain are the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/sbin/watchdog
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       watchdog policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their watchdog
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for watchdog:
43
44       watchdog_t, watchdog_unconfined_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a watchdog_t can be used to make the process
47       type  watchdog_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48       process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still  gener‐
49       ated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy is customizable based on least access required.  watch‐
54       dog policy is extremely flexible and has several  booleans  that  allow
55       you  to manipulate the policy and run watchdog with the tightest access
56       possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
61       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64
65
66
67       If  you  want  to  allow  system  to run with NIS, you must turn on the
68       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
71
72
73
74       If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd  shared  memory,
75       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
76
77       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
78

MANAGED FILES

82       The  SELinux  process type watchdog_t can manage files labeled with the
83       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
84       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

164       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
165       type.
166
167       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
168
169       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
170       SELinux  watchdog policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
171       watchdog processes in as secure a method as possible.
172
173       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
174
175       SELinux defines the file context types for the watchdog, if you  wanted
176       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
177       the semanage command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and  then  use
178       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
179
180       semanage   fcontext   -a  -t  watchdog_var_run_t  '/srv/mywatchdog_con‐
181       tent(/.*)?'
182       restorecon -R -v /srv/mywatchdog_content
183
184       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
185       match multiple files.
186
187       The following file types are defined for watchdog:
188
189
190
191       watchdog_cache_t
192
193       -  Set  files  with the watchdog_cache_t type, if you want to store the
194       files under the /var/cache directory.
195
196
197
198       watchdog_exec_t
199
200       - Set files with the watchdog_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
201       executable to the watchdog_t domain.
202
203
204
205       watchdog_initrc_exec_t
206
207       -  Set files with the watchdog_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
208       sition an executable to the watchdog_initrc_t domain.
209
210
211
212       watchdog_log_t
213
214       - Set files with the watchdog_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
215       as watchdog log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
216
217
218
219       watchdog_unconfined_exec_t
220
221       -  Set  files  with the watchdog_unconfined_exec_t type, if you want to
222       transition an executable to the watchdog_unconfined_t domain.
223
224
225       Paths:
226            /etc/watchdog.d(/.*)?, /usr/libexec/watchdog/scripts(/.*)?
227
228
229       watchdog_var_run_t
230
231       - Set files with the watchdog_var_run_t type, if you want to store  the
232       watchdog files under the /run or /var/run directory.
233
234
235
236       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
237       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
238       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
239       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
240
241

COMMANDS

243       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
244       mappings.
245
246       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
247       process type is permissive.
248
249       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
250       icy modules.
251
252       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
253
254
255       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
256       icy settings.
