6 chronyd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the chronyd pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the chronyd processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The chronyd processes execute with the chronyd_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep chronyd_t
20
21
22
24 The chronyd_t SELinux type can be entered via the chronyd_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the chronyd_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/chronyd, /usr/libexec/chrony-helper
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 chronyd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their chronyd
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for chronyd:
43
44 chronyd_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a chronyd_t can be used to make the process
47 type chronyd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. chronyd
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run chronyd with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
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
68 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
69
70 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
71 command:
72
73 semanage port -l
74
75
76 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
77 SELinux chronyd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
78 chronyd processes in as secure a method as possible.
79
80 The following port types are defined for chronyd:
81
82
83 chronyd_port_t
84
85
86
87 Default Defined Ports:
88 udp 323
89
91 The SELinux process type chronyd_t can manage files labeled with the
92 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
93 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

158 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
159 type.
160
161 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
162
163 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
164 SELinux chronyd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
165 chronyd processes in as secure a method as possible.
166
167 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
168
169
170 chronyd policy stores data with multiple different file context types
171 under the /var/run/chrony directory. If you would like to store the
172 data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
173 ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
174 /srv directory you would execute the following command:
175
176 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/chrony /srv/chrony
177 restorecon -R -v /srv/chrony
178
179 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
180
181 SELinux defines the file context types for the chronyd, if you wanted
182 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
183 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
184 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
185
186 semanage fcontext -a -t chronyd_tmp_t '/srv/mychronyd_content(/.*)?'
187 restorecon -R -v /srv/mychronyd_content
188
189 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
190 match multiple files.
191
192 The following file types are defined for chronyd:
193
194
195
196 chronyd_exec_t
197
198 - Set files with the chronyd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
199 executable to the chronyd_t domain.
200
201
202 Paths:
203 /usr/sbin/chronyd, /usr/libexec/chrony-helper
204
205
206 chronyd_initrc_exec_t
207
208 - Set files with the chronyd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
209 tion an executable to the chronyd_initrc_t domain.
210
211
212
213 chronyd_keys_t
214
215 - Set files with the chronyd_keys_t type, if you want to treat the
216 files as chronyd keys data.
217
218
219
220 chronyd_tmp_t
221
222 - Set files with the chronyd_tmp_t type, if you want to store chronyd
223 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
224
225
226
227 chronyd_tmpfs_t
228
229 - Set files with the chronyd_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store chronyd
230 files on a tmpfs file system.
231
232
233
234 chronyd_unit_file_t
235
236 - Set files with the chronyd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
237 files as chronyd unit content.
238
239
240
241 chronyd_var_lib_t
242
243 - Set files with the chronyd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
244 chronyd files under the /var/lib directory.
245
246
247
248 chronyd_var_log_t
249
250 - Set files with the chronyd_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the
251 data as chronyd var log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
252 tory.
253
254
255
256 chronyd_var_run_t
257
258 - Set files with the chronyd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
259 chronyd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
260
261
262 Paths:
263 /var/run/chrony(/.*)?, /var/run/chronyd(/.*)?, /var/run/chrony-
264 helper(/.*)?, /var/run/chronyd.pid, /var/run/chronyd.sock
265
266
267 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
268 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
269 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
270 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
271
272
274 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
275 mappings.
276
277 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
278 process type is permissive.
279
280 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
281 icy modules.
282
283 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
284
285 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
286
287
288 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
289 icy settings.
