6 gconfd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the gconfd pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the gconfd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The gconfd processes execute with the gconfd_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep gconfd_t
20
21
22
24 The gconfd_t SELinux type can be entered via the gconfd_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the gconfd_t domain are the following:
28
29
30
32 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
33 system
34
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
36
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
38 gconfd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their gconfd
39 processes in as secure a method as possible.
40
41 The following process types are defined for gconfd:
42
43 gconfd_t, gconfdefaultsm_t
44
45 Note: semanage permissive -a gconfd_t can be used to make the process
46 type gconfd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
47 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
48 ated.
49
50
52 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. gconfd
53 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54 manipulate the policy and run gconfd with the tightest access possible.
55
56
57
58 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
59 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
60
61 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
62
63
64
66 The SELinux process type gconfd_t can manage files labeled with the
67 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
68 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
69
70 gconf_home_t
71
72 /root/.local(/.*)?
73 /root/.gconf(d)?(/.*)?
74 /home/[^/]+/.local(/.*)?
75 /home/[^/]+/.gconf(d)?(/.*)?
76
77
79 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
80 type.
81
82 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
83
84 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
85 SELinux gconfd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
86 gconfd processes in as secure a method as possible.
87
88 The following file types are defined for gconfd:
89
90
91
92 gconfd_exec_t
93
94 - Set files with the gconfd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
95 executable to the gconfd_t domain.
96
97
98
99 gconfdefaultsm_exec_t
100
101 - Set files with the gconfdefaultsm_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
102 tion an executable to the gconfdefaultsm_t domain.
103
104
105
106 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
107 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
108 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
109 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
110
111
113 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
114 mappings.
115
116 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
117 process type is permissive.
118
119 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
120 icy modules.
121
122 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
123
124
125 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
126 icy settings.
