6 arpwatch_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the arpwatch pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the arpwatch processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The arpwatch processes execute with the arpwatch_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 arpwatch_t
20
24 The arpwatch_t SELinux type can be entered via the arpwatch_exec_t file
25 type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the arpwatch_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29 /usr/sbin/arpwatch
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 arpwatch policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their arpwatch
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for arpwatch:
43 arpwatch_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a arpwatch_t can be used to make the process
47 type arpwatch_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. arp‐
54 watch policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run arpwatch with the tightest access
56 possible.
57 If you want to deny all system processes and Linux users to use blue‐
61 tooth wireless technology, you must turn on the deny_bluetooth boolean.
62 Enabled by default.
63 setsebool -P deny_bluetooth 1
65 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
69 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
70 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
72
76 The SELinux process type arpwatch_t can manage files labeled with the
77 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
78 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

126 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
127 type.
128 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
130 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
132 SELinux arpwatch policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
133 arpwatch processes in as secure a method as possible.
134 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
136 SELinux defines the file context types for the arpwatch, if you wanted
138 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
139 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
140 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
141 semanage fcontext -a -t arpwatch_unit_file_t '/srv/myarpwatch_con‐
143 tent(/.*)?'
144 restorecon -R -v /srv/myarpwatch_content
145 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
147 match multiple files.
148 The following file types are defined for arpwatch:
150 arpwatch_data_t
154 - Set files with the arpwatch_data_t type, if you want to treat the
156 files as arpwatch content.
157 Paths:
160 /var/arpwatch(/.*)?, /var/lib/arpwatch(/.*)?
161 arpwatch_exec_t
164 - Set files with the arpwatch_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
166 executable to the arpwatch_t domain.
167 arpwatch_initrc_exec_t
171 - Set files with the arpwatch_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
173 sition an executable to the arpwatch_initrc_t domain.
174 arpwatch_tmp_t
178 - Set files with the arpwatch_tmp_t type, if you want to store arpwatch
180 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
181 arpwatch_unit_file_t
185 - Set files with the arpwatch_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
187 the files as arpwatch unit content.
188 arpwatch_var_run_t
192 - Set files with the arpwatch_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
194 arpwatch files under the /run or /var/run directory.
195 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
199 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
200 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
201 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
202
205 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
206 mappings.
207 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
209 process type is permissive.
210 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
212 icy modules.
213 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
215 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
218 icy settings.
