6 mrtg_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the mrtg processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the mrtg processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The mrtg processes execute with the mrtg_t SELinux type. You can check
13 if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with
14 the -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep mrtg_t
19
20
21
23 The mrtg_t SELinux type can be entered via the mrtg_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the mrtg_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/bin/mrtg
28
30 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31 system
32
33 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34
35 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
36 mrtg policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their mrtg pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for mrtg:
40
41 mrtg_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a mrtg_t can be used to make the process
44 type mrtg_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
45 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46 ated.
47
48
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. mrtg
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run mrtg with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
57 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
58
59 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
60
61
62
63 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
64 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
65
66 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
67
68
69
71 The SELinux process type mrtg_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
72 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
73 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

128 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
129 type.
130
131 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
132
133 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
134 SELinux mrtg policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their mrtg
135 processes in as secure a method as possible.
136
137 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
138
139
140 mrtg policy stores data with multiple different file context types un‐
141 der the /var/lock/mrtg directory. If you would like to store the data
142 in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
143 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
144 directory you would execute the following command:
145
146 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lock/mrtg /srv/mrtg
147 restorecon -R -v /srv/mrtg
148
149 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
150
151 SELinux defines the file context types for the mrtg, if you wanted to
152 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
153 the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use re‐
154 storecon to put the labels on disk.
155
156 semanage fcontext -a -t mrtg_var_run_t '/srv/mymrtg_content(/.*)?'
157 restorecon -R -v /srv/mymrtg_content
158
159 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
160 match multiple files.
161
162 The following file types are defined for mrtg:
163
164
165
166 mrtg_etc_t
167
168 - Set files with the mrtg_etc_t type, if you want to store mrtg files
169 in the /etc directories.
170
171
172
173 mrtg_exec_t
174
175 - Set files with the mrtg_exec_t type, if you want to transition an ex‐
176 ecutable to the mrtg_t domain.
177
178
179
180 mrtg_initrc_exec_t
181
182 - Set files with the mrtg_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition
183 an executable to the mrtg_initrc_t domain.
184
185
186
187 mrtg_lock_t
188
189 - Set files with the mrtg_lock_t type, if you want to treat the files
190 as mrtg lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
191
192
193 Paths:
194 /var/lock/mrtg(/.*)?, /var/lock/mrtg-rrd(/.*)?, /etc/mrtg/mrtg.ok,
195 /var/lock/subsys/mrtg
196
197
198 mrtg_log_t
199
200 - Set files with the mrtg_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
201 mrtg log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
202
203
204
205 mrtg_var_lib_t
206
207 - Set files with the mrtg_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the mrtg
208 files under the /var/lib directory.
209
210
211
212 mrtg_var_run_t
213
214 - Set files with the mrtg_var_run_t type, if you want to store the mrtg
215 files under the /run or /var/run directory.
216
217
218
219 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
220 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
221 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
222 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
223
224
226 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
227 mappings.
228
229 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
230 process type is permissive.
231
232 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
233 icy modules.
234
235 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
236
237
238 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
239 icy settings.
