6 pptp_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pptp processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the pptp processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11 The pptp processes execute with the pptp_t SELinux type. You can check
13 if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with
14 the -Z qualifier.
15 For example:
17 ps -eZ | grep pptp_t
19
23 The pptp_t SELinux type can be entered via the pptp_exec_t file type.
24 The default entrypoint paths for the pptp_t domain are the following:
26 /usr/sbin/pptp
28
30 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31 system
32 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
36 pptp policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their pptp pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38 The following process types are defined for pptp:
40 pptp_t
42 Note: semanage permissive -a pptp_t can be used to make the process
44 type pptp_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
45 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46 ated.
47
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. pptp
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run pptp with the tightest access possible.
53 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 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
60 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
64 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
65 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
67
71 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
72 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
74 command:
75 semanage port -l
77 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
80 SELinux pptp policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their pptp
81 processes in as secure a method as possible.
82 The following port types are defined for pptp:
84 pptp_port_t
87 Default Defined Ports:
91 tcp 1723
92 udp 1723
93
95 The SELinux process type pptp_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
96 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
97 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

143 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
144 type.
145 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
147 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
149 SELinux pptp policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their pptp
150 processes in as secure a method as possible.
151 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
153 SELinux defines the file context types for the pptp, if you wanted to
155 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
156 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
157 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
158 semanage fcontext -a -t pptp_var_run_t '/srv/mypptp_content(/.*)?'
160 restorecon -R -v /srv/mypptp_content
161 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
163 match multiple files.
164 The following file types are defined for pptp:
166 pptp_exec_t
170 - Set files with the pptp_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
172 executable to the pptp_t domain.
173 pptp_log_t
177 - Set files with the pptp_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
179 pptp log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
180 pptp_var_run_t
184 - Set files with the pptp_var_run_t type, if you want to store the pptp
186 files under the /run or /var/run directory.
187 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
191 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
192 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
193 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
194
197 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
198 mappings.
199 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
201 process type is permissive.
202 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
204 icy modules.
205 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
207 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
209 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
212 icy settings.
