6 fail2ban_client_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
7 fail2ban_client processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the fail2ban_client processes via flex‐
11 ible mandatory access control.
12 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 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep fail2ban_client_t
20
24 The fail2ban_client_t SELinux type can be entered via the
25 fail2ban_client_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the fail2ban_client_t domain are the
28 following:
29 /usr/bin/fail2ban-client
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 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 The following process types are defined for fail2ban_client:
43 fail2ban_client_t
45 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.
50
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 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 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
68 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
71
75 The SELinux process type fail2ban_client_t can manage files labeled
76 with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths
77 for these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC
78 permissions.
79 krb5_host_rcache_t
81 /var/tmp/krb5_0.rcache2
83 /var/cache/krb5rcache(/.*)?
84 /var/tmp/nfs_0
85 /var/tmp/DNS_25
86 /var/tmp/host_0
87 /var/tmp/imap_0
88 /var/tmp/HTTP_23
89 /var/tmp/HTTP_48
90 /var/tmp/ldap_55
91 /var/tmp/ldap_487
92 /var/tmp/ldapmap1_0

96 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
97 type.
98 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
100 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
102 SELinux fail2ban_client policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
103 their fail2ban_client processes in as secure a method as possible.
104 The following file types are defined for fail2ban_client:
106 fail2ban_client_exec_t
110 - Set files with the fail2ban_client_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
112 sition an executable to the fail2ban_client_t domain.
113 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
117 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
118 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
119 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
120
123 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
124 mappings.
125 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
127 process type is permissive.
128 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
130 icy modules.
131 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
133 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
136 icy settings.
