NAME

6       iotop_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the iotop processes
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the iotop processes via flexible manda‐
10       tory access control.
11
12       The iotop processes execute with the  iotop_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 iotop_t

21

ENTRYPOINTS

23       The iotop_t SELinux type can be entered via the iotop_exec_t file type.
24
25       The default entrypoint paths for the iotop_t domain are the following:
26
27       /usr/sbin/iotop
28

PROCESS TYPES

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       iotop policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their iotop  pro‐
37       cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39       The following process types are defined for iotop:
40
41       iotop_t
42
43       Note:  semanage  permissive  -a iotop_t can be used to make the process
44       type iotop_t permissive. SELinux does not  deny  access  to  permissive
45       process  types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46       ated.

BOOLEANS

50       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access  required.   iotop
51       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52       manipulate the policy and run iotop with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
57       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
58
59       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
60
61
62
63       If  you  want  to  allow  system  to run with NIS, you must turn on the
64       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
65
66       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

FILE CONTEXTS

71       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
72       type.
73
74       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
75
76       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
77       SELinux iotop policy is very flexible allowing  users  to  setup  their
78       iotop processes in as secure a method as possible.
79
80       The following file types are defined for iotop:
81
82
83
84       iotop_exec_t
85
86       -  Set  files  with the iotop_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
87       executable to the iotop_t domain.
88
89
90
91       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
92       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
93       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
94       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

96

COMMANDS

98       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
99       mappings.
100
101       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
102       process type is permissive.
103
104       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
105       icy modules.
106
107       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
108
109
110       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
111       icy settings.
