NAME

6       automount_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the automount
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the automount  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  automount processes execute with the automount_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 automount_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  automount_t  SELinux  type can be entered via the automount_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the automount_t domain are the follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /usr/sbin/automount, /etc/apm/event.d/autofs
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       automount  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their auto‐
40       mount processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for automount:
43
44       automount_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a  automount_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  automount_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy  is customizable based on least access required.  auto‐
54       mount policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that  allow
55       you to manipulate the policy and run automount 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 the mount commands to mount any directory or file,
68       you must turn on the mount_anyfile boolean. Enabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P mount_anyfile 1
71
72
73

MANAGED FILES

75       The SELinux process type automount_t can manage files labeled with  the
76       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
77       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

150       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
151       type.
152
153       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
154
155       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
156       SELinux automount policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
157       automount processes in as secure a method as possible.
158
159       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
160
161       SELinux defines the file context types for the automount, if you wanted
162       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
163       the  semanage  command  to  specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
164       storecon to put the labels on disk.
165
166       semanage  fcontext  -a  -t  automount_var_run_t  '/srv/myautomount_con‐
167       tent(/.*)?'
168       restorecon -R -v /srv/myautomount_content
169
170       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
171       match multiple files.
172
173       The following file types are defined for automount:
174
175
176
177       automount_exec_t
178
179       - Set files with the automount_exec_t type, if you want  to  transition
180       an executable to the automount_t domain.
181
182
183       Paths:
184            /usr/sbin/automount, /etc/apm/event.d/autofs
185
186
187       automount_initrc_exec_t
188
189       - Set files with the automount_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
190       sition an executable to the automount_initrc_t domain.
191
192
193
194       automount_keytab_t
195
196       - Set files with the automount_keytab_t type, if you want to treat  the
197       files as kerberos keytab files.
198
199
200
201       automount_lock_t
202
203       -  Set  files  with the automount_lock_t type, if you want to treat the
204       files as automount lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
205
206
207
208       automount_tmp_t
209
210       - Set files with the automount_tmp_t type, if you want to  store  auto‐
211       mount temporary files in the /tmp directories.
212
213
214
215       automount_unit_file_t
216
217       -  Set  files with the automount_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat
218       the files as automount unit content.
219
220
221
222       automount_var_run_t
223
224       - Set files with the automount_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
225       automount files under the /run or /var/run directory.
226
227
228
229       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
230       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
231       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
232       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
233
234

COMMANDS

236       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
237       mappings.
238
239       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
240       process type is permissive.
241
242       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
243       icy modules.
244
245       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
246
247
248       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
249       icy settings.
