NAME

6       lircd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the lircd processes
7

DESCRIPTION

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

ENTRYPOINTS

23       The lircd_t SELinux type can be entered via the lircd_exec_t file type.
24
25       The default entrypoint paths for the lircd_t domain are the following:
26
27       /usr/sbin/lircd
28

PROCESS TYPES

30       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31       system
32
33       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34
35       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
36       lircd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their lircd  pro‐
37       cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39       The following process types are defined for lircd:
40
41       lircd_t
42
43       Note:  semanage  permissive  -a lircd_t can be used to make the process
44       type lircd_t permissive. SELinux does not  deny  access  to  permissive
45       process  types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46       ated.
47
48

BOOLEANS

50       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access  required.   lircd
51       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52       manipulate the policy and run lircd with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
57       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
58
59       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
60
61
62

PORT TYPES

64       SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
65
66       You  can  see  the  types associated with a port by using the following
67       command:
68
69       semanage port -l
70
71
72       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  ports.
73       SELinux  lircd  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to setup their
74       lircd processes in as secure a method as possible.
75
76       The following port types are defined for lircd:
77
78
79       lirc_port_t
80
81
82
83       Default Defined Ports:
84                 tcp 8765
85

MANAGED FILES

87       The SELinux process type lircd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
88       lowing  file  types.   The paths listed are the default paths for these
89       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

139       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
140       type.
141
142       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
143
144       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
145       SELinux lircd policy is very flexible allowing  users  to  setup  their
146       lircd processes in as secure a method as possible.
147
148       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
149
150
151       lircd  policy  stores  data  with multiple different file context types
152       under the /var/run/lirc directory.  If you would like to store the data
153       in  a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
154       equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to store this data under  the  /srv
155       directory you would execute the following command:
156
157       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/lirc /srv/lirc
158       restorecon -R -v /srv/lirc
159
160       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
161
162       SELinux  defines the file context types for the lircd, if you wanted to
163       store files with these types in a diffent paths, you  need  to  execute
164       the  semanage  command  to  sepecify  alternate  labeling  and then use
165       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
166
167       semanage fcontext -a -t lircd_var_run_t '/srv/mylircd_content(/.*)?'
168       restorecon -R -v /srv/mylircd_content
169
170       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
171       match multiple files.
172
173       The following file types are defined for lircd:
174
175
176
177       lircd_etc_t
178
179       - Set files with the lircd_etc_t type, if you want to store lircd files
180       in the /etc directories.
181
182
183       Paths:
184            /etc/lirc(/.*)?, /etc/lircd.conf
185
186
187       lircd_exec_t
188
189       - Set files with the lircd_exec_t type, if you want  to  transition  an
190       executable to the lircd_t domain.
191
192
193
194       lircd_initrc_exec_t
195
196       -  Set  files with the lircd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
197       tion an executable to the lircd_initrc_t domain.
198
199
200
201       lircd_var_run_t
202
203       - Set files with the lircd_var_run_t type, if you  want  to  store  the
204       lircd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
205
206
207       Paths:
208            /var/run/lirc(/.*)?,       /var/run/lircd(/.*)?,       /dev/lircd,
209            /var/run/lircd.pid
210
211
212       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
213       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
214       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
215       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
216
217

COMMANDS

219       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
220       mappings.
221
222       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
223       process type is permissive.
224
225       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
226       icy modules.
227
228       semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
229
230       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
231
232
233       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
234       icy settings.
