NAME

6       journalctl_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the journalctl
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the journalctl processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  journalctl  processes  execute with the journalctl_t SELinux type.
14       You can check if you have these processes running by executing  the  ps
15       command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep journalctl_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  journalctl_t SELinux type can be entered via the journalctl_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the journalctl_t domain are  the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /usr/bin/journalctl
31

PROCESS TYPES

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       journalctl  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their jour‐
40       nalctl processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for journalctl:
43
44       journalctl_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a journalctl_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  journalctl_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.

51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy  is customizable based on least access required.  jour‐
54       nalctl policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55       you  to  manipulate  the  policy  and  run journalctl with the tightest
56       access possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
61       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
62
63       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
64
65
66
67       If  you  want  to  support  NFS  home directories, you must turn on the
68       use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Enabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
71
72
73
74       If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you  must  turn  on  the
75       use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
76
77       setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1

MANAGED FILES

82       The SELinux process type journalctl_t can manage files labeled with the
83       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
84       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
85
86       user_home_type
87
88            all user home files
89
90

FILE CONTEXTS

92       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
93       type.
94
95       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
96
97       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
98       SELinux  journalctl  policy  is  very  flexible allowing users to setup
99       their journalctl processes in as secure a method as possible.
100
101       The following file types are defined for journalctl:
102
103
104
105       journalctl_exec_t
106
107       - Set files with the journalctl_exec_t type, if you want to  transition
108       an executable to the journalctl_t domain.
109
110
111
112       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
113       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
114       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
115       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
116
117

COMMANDS

119       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
120       mappings.
121
122       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
123       process type is permissive.
124
125       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
126       icy modules.
127
128       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
129
130
131       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
132       icy settings.
