NAME

6       policykit_resolve_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pol‐
7       icykit_resolve processes
8

DESCRIPTION

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

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  policykit_resolve_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered via the poli‐
25       cykit_resolve_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the policykit_resolve_t domain are the
28       following:
29
30       /usr/libexec/polkit-resolve-exe-helper.*,    /usr/lib/policykit/polkit-
31       resolve-exe-helper.*
32

PROCESS TYPES

34       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35       system
36
37       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
40       policykit_resolve policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
41       policykit_resolve processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43       The following process types are defined for policykit_resolve:
44
45       policykit_resolve_t
46
47       Note:  semanage  permissive  -a policykit_resolve_t can be used to make
48       the process type policykit_resolve_t permissive. SELinux does not  deny
49       access  to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) mes‐
50       sages are still generated.
51
52

BOOLEANS

54       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access  required.   poli‐
55       cykit_resolve  policy  is  extremely  flexible and has several booleans
56       that allow you to manipulate the policy and run policykit_resolve  with
57       the tightest access possible.
58
59
60
61       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
62       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
63
64       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
65
66
67
68       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
69       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
70
71       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
72
73
74

FILE CONTEXTS

76       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
77       type.
78
79       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
80
81       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
82       SELinux  policykit_resolve  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to
83       setup their policykit_resolve processes in as secure a method as possi‐
84       ble.
85
86       The following file types are defined for policykit_resolve:
87
88
89
90       policykit_resolve_exec_t
91
92       -  Set  files  with  the  policykit_resolve_exec_t type, if you want to
93       transition an executable to the policykit_resolve_t domain.
94
95
96       Paths:
97            /usr/libexec/polkit-resolve-exe-helper.*,           /usr/lib/poli‐
98            cykit/polkit-resolve-exe-helper.*
99
100
101       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
102       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
103       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
104       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
105
106

COMMANDS

108       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
109       mappings.
110
111       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
112       process type is permissive.
113
114       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
115       icy modules.
116
117       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
118
119
120       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
121       icy settings.
