6 fsdaemon_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the fsdaemon pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the fsdaemon processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The fsdaemon processes execute with the fsdaemon_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
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep fsdaemon_t
20
21
22
24 The fsdaemon_t SELinux type can be entered via the fsdaemon_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the fsdaemon_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/smartd
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 fsdaemon policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their fsdaemon
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for fsdaemon:
43
44 fsdaemon_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a fsdaemon_t can be used to make the process
47 type fsdaemon_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. fsdae‐
54 mon policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run fsdaemon with the tightest access
56 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 determine whether smartmon can support devices on 3ware
75 controllers, you must turn on the smartmon_3ware boolean. Disabled by
76 default.
77
78 setsebool -P smartmon_3ware 1
79
80
81
82 If you want to allow confined virtual guests to manage nfs files, you
83 must turn on the virt_use_nfs boolean. Disabled by default.
84
85 setsebool -P virt_use_nfs 1
86
87
88
89 If you want to allow confined virtual guests to manage cifs files, you
90 must turn on the virt_use_samba boolean. Disabled by default.
91
92 setsebool -P virt_use_samba 1
93
94
95
97 The SELinux process type fsdaemon_t can manage files labeled with the
98 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
99 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

159 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
160 type.
161
162 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
163
164 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
165 SELinux fsdaemon policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
166 fsdaemon processes in as secure a method as possible.
167
168 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
169
170 SELinux defines the file context types for the fsdaemon, if you wanted
171 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
172 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use
173 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
174
175 semanage fcontext -a -t fsdaemon_tmp_t '/srv/myfsdaemon_content(/.*)?'
176 restorecon -R -v /srv/myfsdaemon_content
177
178 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
179 match multiple files.
180
181 The following file types are defined for fsdaemon:
182
183
184
185 fsdaemon_exec_t
186
187 - Set files with the fsdaemon_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
188 executable to the fsdaemon_t domain.
189
190
191
192 fsdaemon_initrc_exec_t
193
194 - Set files with the fsdaemon_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
195 sition an executable to the fsdaemon_initrc_t domain.
196
197
198
199 fsdaemon_tmp_t
200
201 - Set files with the fsdaemon_tmp_t type, if you want to store fsdaemon
202 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
203
204
205
206 fsdaemon_var_lib_t
207
208 - Set files with the fsdaemon_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
209 fsdaemon files under the /var/lib directory.
210
211
212
213 fsdaemon_var_run_t
214
215 - Set files with the fsdaemon_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
216 fsdaemon files under the /run or /var/run directory.
217
218
219
220 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
221 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
222 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
223 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
224
225
227 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
228 mappings.
229
230 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
231 process type is permissive.
232
233 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
234 icy modules.
235
236 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
237
238
239 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
240 icy settings.
