6 restorecond_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the restore‐
7 cond processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the restorecond processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The restorecond processes execute with the restorecond_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 restorecond_t
20
21
22
24 The restorecond_t SELinux type can be entered via the restore‐
25 cond_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the restorecond_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/restorecond
31
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 restorecond policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 restorecond processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for restorecond:
43
44 restorecond_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a restorecond_t can be used to make the
47 process type restorecond_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 restorecond policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run restorecond 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
72
73
75 The SELinux process type restorecond_t can manage files labeled with
76 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
77 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
78 missions.

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