6 smoltclient_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the smolt‐
7 client processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the smoltclient processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The smoltclient processes execute with the smoltclient_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 smoltclient_t
20
21
22
24 The smoltclient_t SELinux type can be entered via the smolt‐
25 client_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the smoltclient_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29
30 /usr/share/smolt/client/sendProfile.py
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 smoltclient policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 smoltclient processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for smoltclient:
43
44 smoltclient_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a smoltclient_t can be used to make the
47 process type smoltclient_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. smolt‐
54 client policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run smoltclient with the tightest
56 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 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 smoltclient policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
82 their smoltclient processes in as secure a method as possible.
83
84 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
85
86 SELinux defines the file context types for the smoltclient, if you
87 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
88 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
89 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
90
91 semanage fcontext -a -t smoltclient_tmp_t '/srv/mysmoltclient_con‐
92 tent(/.*)?'
93 restorecon -R -v /srv/mysmoltclient_content
94
95 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
96 match multiple files.
97
98 The following file types are defined for smoltclient:
99
100
101
102 smoltclient_exec_t
103
104 - Set files with the smoltclient_exec_t type, if you want to transition
105 an executable to the smoltclient_t domain.
106
107
108
109 smoltclient_tmp_t
110
111 - Set files with the smoltclient_tmp_t type, if you want to store
112 smoltclient temporary files in the /tmp directories.
113
114
115
116 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
117 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
118 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
119 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
120
121
123 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
124 mappings.
125
126 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
127 process type is permissive.
128
129 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
130 icy modules.
131
132 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
133
134
135 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
136 icy settings.
