6 gpm_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the gpm processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the gpm processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The gpm processes execute with the gpm_t SELinux type. You can check if
13 you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the
14 -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep gpm_t
19
20
21
23 The gpm_t SELinux type can be entered via the gpm_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the gpm_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/sbin/gpm
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 gpm policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their gpm processes
37 in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for gpm:
40
41 gpm_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a gpm_t can be used to make the process type
44 gpm_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process
45 types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.
46
47
49 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. gpm
50 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
51 manipulate the policy and run gpm with the tightest access possible.
52
53
54
55 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
56 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
57
58 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
59
60
61
63 The SELinux process type gpm_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
64 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
65 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

111 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
112 type.
113
114 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
115
116 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
117 SELinux gpm policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their gpm
118 processes in as secure a method as possible.
119
120 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
121
122 SELinux defines the file context types for the gpm, if you wanted to
123 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
124 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
125 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
126
127 semanage fcontext -a -t gpmctl_t '/srv/mygpm_content(/.*)?'
128 restorecon -R -v /srv/mygpm_content
129
130 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
131 match multiple files.
132
133 The following file types are defined for gpm:
134
135
136
137 gpm_conf_t
138
139 - Set files with the gpm_conf_t type, if you want to treat the files as
140 gpm configuration data, usually stored under the /etc directory.
141
142
143 Paths:
144 /etc/gpm(/.*)?, /etc/gpm-.*.conf
145
146
147 gpm_exec_t
148
149 - Set files with the gpm_exec_t type, if you want to transition an exe‐
150 cutable to the gpm_t domain.
151
152
153
154 gpm_initrc_exec_t
155
156 - Set files with the gpm_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition
157 an executable to the gpm_initrc_t domain.
158
159
160
161 gpm_tmp_t
162
163 - Set files with the gpm_tmp_t type, if you want to store gpm temporary
164 files in the /tmp directories.
165
166
167
168 gpm_var_run_t
169
170 - Set files with the gpm_var_run_t type, if you want to store the gpm
171 files under the /run or /var/run directory.
172
173
174
175 gpmctl_t
176
177 - Set files with the gpmctl_t type, if you want to treat the files as
178 gpmctl data.
179
180
181 Paths:
182 /dev/gpmctl, /dev/gpmdata
183
184
185 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
186 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
187 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
188 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
189
190
192 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
193 mappings.
194
195 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
196 process type is permissive.
197
198 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
199 icy modules.
200
201 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
202
203
204 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
205 icy settings.
