6 newrole_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the newrole pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the newrole processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The newrole processes execute with the newrole_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 newrole_t
20
21
22
24 The newrole_t SELinux type can be entered via the newrole_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the newrole_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/bin/newrole
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 newrole policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their newrole
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for newrole:
43
44 newrole_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a newrole_t can be used to make the process
47 type newrole_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. newrole
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run newrole with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
57
58
59
60 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
61 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64
65
66
67 If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
68 must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70 setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
71
72
73
74 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
75 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
76
77 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
78
79
80
81 If you want to enable polyinstantiated directory support, you must turn
82 on the polyinstantiation_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
83
84 setsebool -P polyinstantiation_enabled 1
85
86
87
88 If you want to disallow programs, such as newrole, from transitioning
89 to administrative user domains, you must turn on the secure_mode bool‐
90 ean. Disabled by default.
91
92 setsebool -P secure_mode 1
93
94
95
97 The SELinux process type newrole_t can manage files labeled with the
98 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
99 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
100
101 faillog_t
102
103 /var/log/btmp.*
104 /var/log/faillog.*
105 /var/log/tallylog.*
106 /var/run/faillock(/.*)?
107
108 initrc_var_run_t

110 /var/run/utmp
111 /var/run/random-seed

125 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
126 type.
127
128 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
129
130 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
131 SELinux newrole policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
132 newrole processes in as secure a method as possible.
133
134 The following file types are defined for newrole:
135
136
137
138 newrole_exec_t
139
140 - Set files with the newrole_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
141 executable to the newrole_t domain.
142
143
144
145 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
146 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
147 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
148 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
149
150
152 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
153 mappings.
154
155 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
156 process type is permissive.
157
158 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
159 icy modules.
160
161 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
162
163
164 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
165 icy settings.
