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
13 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
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep virtlogd_t
20
21
22
24 The virtlogd_t SELinux type can be entered via the virtlogd_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the virtlogd_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/virtlogd, /usr/sbin/virtlockd
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 virtlogd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their virtlogd
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for virtlogd:
43
44 virtlogd_t
45
46 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
51
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
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 system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
68 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
71
72
73
74 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
77 setsebool -P virt_use_nfs 1
78
79
80
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
148 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
149
150 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
154 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
155
156 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
161 semanage fcontext -a -t virtlogd_unit_file_t '/srv/myvirtlogd_con‐
162 tent(/.*)?'
163 restorecon -R -v /srv/myvirtlogd_content
164
165 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
166 match multiple files.
167
168 The following file types are defined for virtlogd:
169
170
171
172 virtlogd_etc_t
173
174 - Set files with the virtlogd_etc_t type, if you want to store virtlogd
175 files in the /etc directories.
176
177
178
179 virtlogd_exec_t
180
181 - Set files with the virtlogd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
182 executable to the virtlogd_t domain.
183
184
185 Paths:
186 /usr/sbin/virtlogd, /usr/sbin/virtlockd
187
188
189 virtlogd_initrc_exec_t
190
191 - 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
194
195
196 virtlogd_unit_file_t
197
198 - Set files with the virtlogd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
199 the files as virtlogd unit content.
200
201
202
203 virtlogd_var_run_t
204
205 - 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
208
209 Paths:
210 /var/run/virtlogd.pid, /var/run/libvirt/virtlogd-sock
211
212
213 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
218
220 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
221 mappings.
222
223 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
224 process type is permissive.
225
226 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
227 icy modules.
228
229 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
230
231
232 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
233 icy settings.
