7 cesses

10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the motion processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The motion processes execute with the motion_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 motion_t
20
21
22
24 The motion_t SELinux type can be entered via the motion_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the motion_t domain are the following:
28
29 /usr/bin/motion
30
32 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
33 system
34
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
36
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
38 motion policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their motion
39 processes in as secure a method as possible.
40
41 The following process types are defined for motion:
42
43 motion_t
44
45 Note: semanage permissive -a motion_t can be used to make the process
46 type motion_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
47 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
48 ated.
49
50
52 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. motion
53 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54 manipulate the policy and run motion with the tightest access possible.
55
56
57
58 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
59 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
60
61 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
62
63
64
66 The SELinux process type motion_t can manage files labeled with the
67 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
68 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

138 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
139 type.
140
141 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
142
143 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
144 SELinux motion policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
145 motion processes in as secure a method as possible.
146
147 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
148
149 SELinux defines the file context types for the motion, if you wanted to
150 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
151 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
152 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
153
154 semanage fcontext -a -t motion_data_t '/srv/mymotion_content(/.*)?'
155 restorecon -R -v /srv/mymotion_content
156
157 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
158 match multiple files.
159
160 The following file types are defined for motion:
161
162
163
164 motion_data_t
165
166 - Set files with the motion_data_t type, if you want to treat the files
167 as motion content.
168
169
170
171 motion_exec_t
172
173 - Set files with the motion_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
174 executable to the motion_t domain.
175
176
177
178 motion_log_t
179
180 - Set files with the motion_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
181 as motion log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
182
183
184
185 motion_unit_file_t
186
187 - Set files with the motion_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
188 files as motion unit content.
189
190
191
192 motion_var_run_t
193
194 - Set files with the motion_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
195 motion files under the /run or /var/run directory.
196
197
198
199 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
200 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
201 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
202 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
203
204
206 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
207 mappings.
208
209 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
210 process type is permissive.
211
212 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
213 icy modules.
214
215 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
216
217
218 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
219 icy settings.
