6 ninfod_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ninfod pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ninfod processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The ninfod processes execute with the ninfod_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 ninfod_t
20
21
22
24 The ninfod_t SELinux type can be entered via the ninfod_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the ninfod_t domain are the following:
28
29 /usr/sbin/ninfod
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 ninfod policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ninfod
39 processes in as secure a method as possible.
40
41 The following process types are defined for ninfod:
42
43 ninfod_t
44
45 Note: semanage permissive -a ninfod_t can be used to make the process
46 type ninfod_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. ninfod
53 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54 manipulate the policy and run ninfod 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
65 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
66 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
67
68 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
69
70
71
73 The SELinux process type ninfod_t can manage files labeled with the
74 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
75 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

118 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
119 type.
120
121 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
122
123 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
124 SELinux ninfod policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
125 ninfod processes in as secure a method as possible.
126
127 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
128
129 SELinux defines the file context types for the ninfod, if you wanted to
130 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
131 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
132 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
133
134 semanage fcontext -a -t ninfod_unit_file_t '/srv/myninfod_con‐
135 tent(/.*)?'
136 restorecon -R -v /srv/myninfod_content
137
138 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
139 match multiple files.
140
141 The following file types are defined for ninfod:
142
143
144
145 ninfod_exec_t
146
147 - Set files with the ninfod_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
148 executable to the ninfod_t domain.
149
150
151
152 ninfod_run_t
153
154 - Set files with the ninfod_run_t type, if you want to treat the files
155 as ninfod run data.
156
157
158
159 ninfod_unit_file_t
160
161 - Set files with the ninfod_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
162 files as ninfod unit content.
163
164
165
166 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
167 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
168 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
169 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
170
171
173 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
174 mappings.
175
176 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
177 process type is permissive.
178
179 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
180 icy modules.
181
182 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
183
184
185 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
186 icy settings.
