6 run_init_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the run_init pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the run_init processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The run_init processes execute with the run_init_t SELinux type. You
14 can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps com‐
15 mand with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep run_init_t
20
24 The run_init_t SELinux type can be entered via the run_init_exec_t file
25 type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the run_init_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29 /usr/sbin/run_init
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 run_init policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their run_init
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for run_init:
43 run_init_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a run_init_t can be used to make the process
47 type run_init_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 run_init policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run run_init with the tightest
56 access possible.
57 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 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
68 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
71
75 The SELinux process type run_init_t can manage files labeled with the
76 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
77 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
78 faillog_t
80 /var/log/btmp.*
82 /var/log/faillog.*
83 /var/log/tallylog.*
84 /var/run/faillock(/.*)?
85 initrc_var_run_t
87 /var/run/utmp
89 /var/run/random-seed
90 /var/run/runlevel.dir
91 /var/run/setmixer_flag
92 security_t
94 /selinux
96
99 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
100 type.
101 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
103 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
105 SELinux run_init policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
106 run_init processes in as secure a method as possible.
107 The following file types are defined for run_init:
109 run_init_exec_t
113 - Set files with the run_init_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
115 executable to the run_init_t domain.
116 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
120 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
121 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
122 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
123
126 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
127 mappings.
128 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
130 process type is permissive.
131 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
133 icy modules.
134 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
136 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
139 icy settings.
