6 telepathy_idle_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the telepa‐
7 thy_idle processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the telepathy_idle processes via flexi‐
11 ble mandatory access control.
12
13 The telepathy_idle processes execute with the telepathy_idle_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep telepathy_idle_t
20
21
22
24 The telepathy_idle_t SELinux type can be entered via the telepa‐
25 thy_idle_exec_t file type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the telepathy_idle_t domain are the
28 following:
29
30 /usr/libexec/telepathy-idle
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 telepathy_idle policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 telepathy_idle processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for telepathy_idle:
43
44 telepathy_idle_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a telepathy_idle_t can be used to make the
47 process type telepathy_idle_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48 to 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. telepa‐
54 thy_idle policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run telepathy_idle with the
56 tightest 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
74 If you want to allow the Telepathy connection managers to connect to
75 any network port, you must turn on the telepathy_connect_all_ports
76 boolean. Disabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P telepathy_connect_all_ports 1
79
80
81
82 If you want to allow the Telepathy connection managers to connect to
83 any generic TCP port, you must turn on the telepathy_tcp_con‐
84 nect_generic_network_ports boolean. Disabled by default.
85
86 setsebool -P telepathy_tcp_connect_generic_network_ports 1

91 The SELinux process type telepathy_idle_t can manage files labeled with
92 the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for
93 these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
94 missions.
95
96 cache_home_t
97
98 /root/.cache(/.*)?
99 /home/[^/]+/.nv(/.*)?
100 /home/[^/]+/.cache(/.*)?
101
102
104 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
105 type.
106
107 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
108
109 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
110 SELinux telepathy_idle policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
111 their telepathy_idle processes in as secure a method as possible.
112
113 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
114
115 SELinux defines the file context types for the telepathy_idle, if you
116 wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
117 execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
118 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
119
120 semanage fcontext -a -t telepathy_idle_tmp_t '/srv/mytelepa‐
121 thy_idle_content(/.*)?'
122 restorecon -R -v /srv/mytelepathy_idle_content
123
124 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
125 match multiple files.
126
127 The following file types are defined for telepathy_idle:
128
129
130
131 telepathy_idle_exec_t
132
133 - Set files with the telepathy_idle_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
134 tion an executable to the telepathy_idle_t domain.
135
136
137
138 telepathy_idle_tmp_t
139
140 - Set files with the telepathy_idle_tmp_t type, if you want to store
141 telepathy idle temporary files in the /tmp directories.
142
143
144
145 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
146 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
147 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
148 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
149
150
152 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
153 mappings.
154
155 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
156 process type is permissive.
157
158 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
159 icy modules.
160
161 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
162
163
164 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
165 icy settings.
