6 staff_consolehelper_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 staff_consolehelper processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the staff_consolehelper processes via
11 flexible mandatory access control.
12
13 The staff_consolehelper processes execute with the staff_console‐
14 helper_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes run‐
15 ning by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep staff_consolehelper_t
20
21
22
24 The staff_consolehelper_t SELinux type can be entered via the console‐
25 helper_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the staff_consolehelper_t domain are
28 the following:
29
30 /usr/bin/consolehelper
31
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 staff_consolehelper policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
40 their staff_consolehelper processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for staff_consolehelper:
43
44 staff_consolehelper_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a staff_consolehelper_t can be used to make
47 the process type staff_consolehelper_t permissive. SELinux does not
48 deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials)
49 messages are still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 staff_consolehelper policy is extremely flexible and has several bool‐
55 eans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run staff_console‐
56 helper with the tightest access possible.

59
60 If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
61 ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
62 gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
63
64 setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
69 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
76 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
79
80
81
82 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
83 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
84
85 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
86
87
88
89 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
90 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
91
92 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
93
94
95
97 The SELinux process type staff_consolehelper_t can manage files labeled
98 with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths
99 for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC
100 permissions.

156 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
157 mappings.
158
159 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
160 process type is permissive.

162 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
163 icy modules.
164
165 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
