7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the hwclock processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The hwclock processes execute with the hwclock_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep hwclock_t
20
21
22
24 The hwclock_t SELinux type can be entered via the hwclock_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the hwclock_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /sbin/hwclock, /usr/sbin/hwclock
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 hwclock policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their hwclock
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for hwclock:
43
44 hwclock_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a hwclock_t can be used to make the process
47 type hwclock_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. hwclock
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run hwclock with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
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
75 The SELinux process type hwclock_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.

99 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
100 type.
101
102 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
103
104 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
105 SELinux hwclock policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
106 hwclock processes in as secure a method as possible.
107
108 The following file types are defined for hwclock:
109
110
111
112 hwclock_exec_t
113
114 - Set files with the hwclock_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
115 executable to the hwclock_t domain.
116
117
118 Paths:
119 /sbin/hwclock, /usr/sbin/hwclock
120
121
122 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
123 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
124 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
125 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
126
127
129 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
130 mappings.
131
132 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
133 process type is permissive.
134
135 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
136 icy modules.
137
138 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
139
140
141 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
142 icy settings.
