6 named_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the named processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the named processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The named processes execute with the named_t SELinux type. You can
13 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14 with the -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep named_t
19
20
21
23 The named_t SELinux type can be entered via the named_exec_t,
24 named_checkconf_exec_t file types.
25
26 The default entrypoint paths for the named_t domain are the following:
27
28 /usr/sbin/named, /usr/sbin/lwresd, /usr/sbin/unbound, /usr/sbin/named-
29 sdb, /usr/sbin/named-pkcs11, /usr/sbin/unbound-anchor,
30 /usr/sbin/unbound-control, /usr/sbin/unbound-checkconf,
31 /usr/sbin/named-checkconf
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36
37 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 named policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their named pro‐
41 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for named:
44
45 named_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a named_t can be used to make the process
48 type named_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
49 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
50 ated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. named
55 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
56 manipulate the policy and run named with the tightest access possible.
57

59
60 If you want to determine whether Bind can bind tcp socket to http
61 ports, you must turn on the named_tcp_bind_http_port boolean. Disabled
62 by default.
63
64 setsebool -P named_tcp_bind_http_port 1
65
66
67
68 If you want to determine whether Bind can write to master zone files.
69 Generally this is used for dynamic DNS or zone transfers, you must turn
70 on the named_write_master_zones boolean. Disabled by default.
71
72 setsebool -P named_write_master_zones 1
73
74
75
76 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
77 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
78
79 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
80
81
82
84 The SELinux process type named_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
85 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
86 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

166 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
167 type.
168
169 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
170
171 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
172 SELinux named policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
173 named processes in as secure a method as possible.
174
175 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
176
177
178 named policy stores data with multiple different file context types
179 under the /var/named directory. If you would like to store the data in
180 a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
181 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
182 directory you would execute the following command:
183
184 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/named /srv/named
185 restorecon -R -v /srv/named
186
187 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
188
189 SELinux defines the file context types for the named, if you wanted to
190 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
191 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
192 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
193
194 semanage fcontext -a -t named_zone_t '/srv/mynamed_content(/.*)?'
195 restorecon -R -v /srv/mynamed_content
196
197 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
198 match multiple files.
199

322
323 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
324 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
325 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
326 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
327
328
330 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
331 mappings.
332
333 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
334 process type is permissive.
335
336 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
337 icy modules.
338
339 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
340
341
342 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
343 icy settings.
