NAME

6       groupadd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the groupadd pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the  groupadd  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  groupadd  processes  execute with the groupadd_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 groupadd_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The groupadd_t SELinux type can be entered via the groupadd_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the groupadd_t domain are the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/bin/gpasswd,         /usr/sbin/gpasswd,        /usr/sbin/groupadd,
31       /usr/sbin/groupdel, /usr/sbin/groupmod
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       groupadd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their groupadd
41       processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43       The following process types are defined for groupadd:
44
45       groupadd_t
46
47       Note: semanage permissive -a groupadd_t can be used to make the process
48       type groupadd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to  permissive
49       process  types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
50       ated.
51
52

BOOLEANS

54       SELinux  policy  is  customizable  based  on  least  access   required.
55       groupadd  policy  is  extremely  flexible and has several booleans that
56       allow you to manipulate the policy and run groupadd with  the  tightest
57       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
75       If  you want to allow samba to act as the domain controller, add users,
76       groups and change passwords, you must  turn  on  the  samba_domain_con‐
77       troller boolean. Disabled by default.
78
79       setsebool -P samba_domain_controller 1

MANAGED FILES

84       The  SELinux  process type groupadd_t can manage files labeled with the
85       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
86       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
87
88       faillog_t
89
90            /var/log/btmp.*
91            /var/log/faillog.*
92            /var/log/tallylog.*
93            /var/run/faillock(/.*)?
94
95       lastlog_t
96
97            /var/log/lastlog.*
98
99       security_t
100
101            /selinux
102
103       shadow_t
104
105            /etc/shadow.*
106            /etc/gshadow.*
107            /etc/nshadow.*
108            /var/db/shadow.*
109            /etc/security/opasswd
110            /etc/security/opasswd.old

FILE CONTEXTS

114       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
115       type.
116
117       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
118
119       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
120       SELinux  groupadd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
121       groupadd processes in as secure a method as possible.
122
123       The following file types are defined for groupadd:
124
125
126
127       groupadd_exec_t
128
129       - Set files with the groupadd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
130       executable to the groupadd_t domain.
131
132
133       Paths:
134            /usr/bin/gpasswd,      /usr/sbin/gpasswd,      /usr/sbin/groupadd,
135            /usr/sbin/groupdel, /usr/sbin/groupmod
136
137
138       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
139       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
140       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
141       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
142
143

COMMANDS

145       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
146       mappings.
147
148       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
149       process type is permissive.
150
151       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
152       icy modules.
153
154       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
155
156
157       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
158       icy settings.
