NAME

6       fail2ban_client_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced  Linux  Policy  for  the
7       fail2ban_client processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the fail2ban_client processes via flex‐
11       ible mandatory access control.
12
13       The   fail2ban_client  processes  execute  with  the  fail2ban_client_t
14       SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by exe‐
15       cuting the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep fail2ban_client_t
20

22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The   fail2ban_client_t   SELinux   type   can   be   entered  via  the
25       fail2ban_client_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the fail2ban_client_t domain  are  the
28       following:
29
30       /usr/bin/fail2ban-client
31

PROCESS TYPES

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       fail2ban_client  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40       fail2ban_client processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for fail2ban_client:
43
44       fail2ban_client_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a fail2ban_client_t can be used to make  the
47       process type fail2ban_client_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access
48       to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49       still generated.

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux   policy  is  customizable  based  on  least  access  required.
54       fail2ban_client policy is extremely flexible and has  several  booleans
55       that  allow  you  to manipulate the policy and run fail2ban_client with
56       the 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

73

FILE CONTEXTS

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 fail2ban_client policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
82       their fail2ban_client processes in as secure a method as possible.
83
84       The following file types are defined for fail2ban_client:
85
86
87
88       fail2ban_client_exec_t
89
90       -  Set files with the fail2ban_client_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
91       sition an executable to the fail2ban_client_t domain.
92
93
94
95       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
96       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
97       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
98       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

COMMANDS

102       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
103       mappings.
104
105       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
106       process type is permissive.
107
108       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
109       icy modules.
110
111       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
112
113
114       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
115       icy settings.
