NAME

6       hostapd_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the hostapd pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

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

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  hostapd_t  SELinux type can be entered via the hostapd_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the hostapd_t domain are  the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/sbin/hostapd
31

PROCESS TYPES

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       hostapd  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their hostapd
40       processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for hostapd:
43
44       hostapd_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a hostapd_t can be used to make the  process
47       type  hostapd_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

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.  hostapd
54       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55       manipulate  the  policy and run hostapd with the tightest access possi‐
56       ble.
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

73

MANAGED FILES

75       The SELinux process type hostapd_t can manage files  labeled  with  the
76       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
77       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
78
79       cluster_conf_t

81            /etc/cluster(/.*)?

FILE CONTEXTS

120       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
121       type.
122
123       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
124
125       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
126       SELinux hostapd policy is very flexible allowing users to  setup  their
127       hostapd processes in as secure a method as possible.
128
129       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
130
131       SELinux  defines  the file context types for the hostapd, if you wanted
132       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
133       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
134       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
135
136       semanage  fcontext  -a  -t   hostapd_unit_file_t   '/srv/myhostapd_con‐
137       tent(/.*)?'
138       restorecon -R -v /srv/myhostapd_content
139
140       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
141       match multiple files.
142
143       The following file types are defined for hostapd:
144
145
146
147       hostapd_exec_t
148
149       - Set files with the hostapd_exec_t type, if you want to transition  an
150       executable to the hostapd_t domain.
151
152
153
154       hostapd_unit_file_t
155
156       - Set files with the hostapd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
157       files as hostapd unit content.
158
159
160
161       hostapd_var_run_t
162
163       - Set files with the hostapd_var_run_t type, if you want to  store  the
164       hostapd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
165
166
167
168       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
169       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
170       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
171       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
172
173

COMMANDS

175       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
176       mappings.
177
178       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
179       process type is permissive.
180
181       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
182       icy modules.
183
184       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
185
186
187       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
188       icy settings.
