6 virtlogd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the virtlogd pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the virtlogd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The virtlogd processes execute with the virtlogd_t SELinux type. You
14 can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps com‐
15 mand with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep virtlogd_t
20
24 The virtlogd_t SELinux type can be entered via the virtlogd_exec_t file
25 type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the virtlogd_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29 /usr/sbin/virtlogd, /usr/sbin/virtlockd
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 virtlogd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their virtlogd
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for virtlogd:
43 virtlogd_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a virtlogd_t can be used to make the process
47 type virtlogd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. virt‐
54 logd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run virtlogd with the tightest access
56 possible.
57 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 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
68 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
71 If you want to allow confined virtual guests to manage nfs files, you
75 must turn on the virt_use_nfs boolean. Disabled by default.
76 setsebool -P virt_use_nfs 1
78
82 The SELinux process type virtlogd_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.

145 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
146 type.
147 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
149 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
151 SELinux virtlogd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
152 virtlogd processes in as secure a method as possible.
153 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
155 SELinux defines the file context types for the virtlogd, if you wanted
157 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
158 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
159 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
160 semanage fcontext -a -t virtlogd_unit_file_t '/srv/myvirtlogd_con‐
162 tent(/.*)?'
163 restorecon -R -v /srv/myvirtlogd_content
164 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
166 match multiple files.
167 The following file types are defined for virtlogd:
169 virtlogd_etc_t
173 - Set files with the virtlogd_etc_t type, if you want to store virtlogd
175 files in the /etc directories.
176 virtlogd_exec_t
180 - Set files with the virtlogd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
182 executable to the virtlogd_t domain.
183 Paths:
186 /usr/sbin/virtlogd, /usr/sbin/virtlockd
187 virtlogd_initrc_exec_t
190 - Set files with the virtlogd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
192 sition an executable to the virtlogd_initrc_t domain.
193 virtlogd_unit_file_t
197 - Set files with the virtlogd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
199 the files as virtlogd unit content.
200 virtlogd_var_run_t
204 - Set files with the virtlogd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
206 virtlogd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
207 Paths:
210 /var/run/virtlogd.pid, /var/run/libvirt/virtlogd-sock
211 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
214 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
215 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
216 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
217
220 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
221 mappings.
222 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
224 process type is permissive.
225 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
227 icy modules.
228 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
230 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
233 icy settings.
