NAME

6       pam_console_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pam_con‐
7       sole processes
8

DESCRIPTION

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

22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  pam_console_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered  via  the  pam_con‐
25       sole_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the pam_console_t domain are the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /sbin/pam_console_apply, /usr/sbin/pam_console_apply
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       pam_console  policy  is  very  flexible  allowing  users to setup their
40       pam_console processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for pam_console:
43
44       pam_console_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a pam_console_t can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type pam_console_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux   policy  is  customizable  based  on  least  access  required.
54       pam_console policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that
55       allow  you to manipulate the policy and run pam_console with the tight‐
56       est access possible.
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

FILE CONTEXTS

75       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
76       type.
77
78       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
79
80       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
81       SELinux pam_console policy is very flexible  allowing  users  to  setup
82       their pam_console processes in as secure a method as possible.
83
84       The following file types are defined for pam_console:
85
86
87
88       pam_console_exec_t
89
90       - Set files with the pam_console_exec_t type, if you want to transition
91       an executable to the pam_console_t domain.
92
93
94       Paths:
95            /sbin/pam_console_apply, /usr/sbin/pam_console_apply
96
97
98       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
99       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
100       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
101       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

103

COMMANDS

105       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
106       mappings.
107
108       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
109       process type is permissive.
110
111       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
112       icy modules.
113
114       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
115
116
117       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
118       icy settings.
