6 named_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the named processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the named processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The named processes execute with the named_t SELinux type. You can
13 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14 with the -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep named_t
19
20
21
23 The named_t SELinux type can be entered via the named_exec_t,
24 named_checkconf_exec_t file types.
25
26 The default entrypoint paths for the named_t domain are the following:
27
28 /usr/sbin/named, /usr/sbin/lwresd, /usr/sbin/unbound, /usr/sbin/named-
29 sdb, /usr/sbin/named-pkcs11, /usr/sbin/unbound-anchor, /usr/sbin/un‐
30 bound-control, /usr/sbin/unbound-checkconf, /usr/sbin/named-checkconf
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 named policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their named pro‐
40 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for named:
43
44 named_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a named_t can be used to make the process
47 type named_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. named
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run named with the tightest access possible.
56
57
58
59 If you want to determine whether Bind can bind tcp socket to http
60 ports, you must turn on the named_tcp_bind_http_port boolean. Disabled
61 by default.
62
63 setsebool -P named_tcp_bind_http_port 1
64
65
66
67 If you want to determine whether Bind can write to master zone files.
68 Generally this is used for dynamic DNS or zone transfers, you must turn
69 on the named_write_master_zones boolean. Enabled by default.
70
71 setsebool -P named_write_master_zones 1
72
73
74
75 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
76 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
77
78 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
79
80
81
83 The SELinux process type named_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
84 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
85 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

183 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
184 type.
185
186 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
187
188 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
189 SELinux named policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
190 named processes in as secure a method as possible.
191
192 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
193
194
195 named policy stores data with multiple different file context types un‐
196 der the /var/named directory. If you would like to store the data in a
197 different directory you can use the semanage command to create an
198 equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
199 directory you would execute the following command:
200
201 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/named /srv/named
202 restorecon -R -v /srv/named
203
204 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
205
206 SELinux defines the file context types for the named, if you wanted to
207 store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
208 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
209 storecon to put the labels on disk.
210
211 semanage fcontext -a -t named_zone_t '/srv/mynamed_content(/.*)?'
212 restorecon -R -v /srv/mynamed_content
213
214 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
215 match multiple files.
216
217 The following file types are defined for named:
218
219
220
221 named_cache_t

339
340 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
341 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
342 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
343 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
344
345
347 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
348 mappings.
349
350 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
351 process type is permissive.
352
353 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
354 icy modules.
355
356 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
357

359 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
360 icy settings.
