6 oddjob_mkhomedir_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the odd‐
7 job_mkhomedir processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the oddjob_mkhomedir processes via
11 flexible mandatory access control.
12
13 The oddjob_mkhomedir processes execute with the oddjob_mkhomedir_t
14 SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe‐
15 cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep oddjob_mkhomedir_t
20
21
22
24 The oddjob_mkhomedir_t SELinux type can be entered via the odd‐
25 job_mkhomedir_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the oddjob_mkhomedir_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /usr/lib/oddjob/mkhomedir, /usr/sbin/mkhomedir_helper,
31 /usr/libexec/oddjob/mkhomedir
32
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 oddjob_mkhomedir policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
41 oddjob_mkhomedir processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for oddjob_mkhomedir:
44
45 oddjob_mkhomedir_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a oddjob_mkhomedir_t can be used to make the
48 process type oddjob_mkhomedir_t permissive. SELinux does not deny
49 access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) mes‐
50 sages are still generated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. odd‐
55 job_mkhomedir policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans
56 that allow you to manipulate the policy and run oddjob_mkhomedir with
57 the tightest 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
76 The SELinux process type oddjob_mkhomedir_t can manage files labeled
77 with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths
78 for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC
79 permissions.

106 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
107 type.
108
109 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
110
111 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
112 SELinux oddjob_mkhomedir policy is very flexible allowing users to set‐
113 up their oddjob_mkhomedir processes in as secure a method as possible.
114
115 The following file types are defined for oddjob_mkhomedir:
116
117
118
119 oddjob_mkhomedir_exec_t
120
121 - Set files with the oddjob_mkhomedir_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
122 sition an executable to the oddjob_mkhomedir_t domain.
123
124
125 Paths:
126 /usr/lib/oddjob/mkhomedir, /usr/sbin/mkhomedir_helper,
127 /usr/libexec/oddjob/mkhomedir
128
129
130 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
131 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
132 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
133 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
134
135
137 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
138 mappings.
139
140 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
141 process type is permissive.
142
143 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
144 icy modules.
145
146 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
147
148
149 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
150 icy settings.
