6 logwatch_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the logwatch pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the logwatch processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The logwatch processes execute with the logwatch_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 logwatch_t
20
21
22
24 The logwatch_t SELinux type can be entered via the logwatch_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the logwatch_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/epylog, /usr/sbin/logcheck, /usr/sbin/logwatch.pl,
31 /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36
37 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38
39 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 logwatch policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their logwatch
41 processes in as secure a method as possible.
42
43 The following process types are defined for logwatch:
44
45 logwatch_t, logwatch_mail_t
46
47 Note: semanage permissive -a logwatch_t can be used to make the process
48 type logwatch_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
49 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
50 ated.
51
52
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. log‐
55 watch policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
56 you to manipulate the policy and run logwatch with the tightest access
57 possible.
58
59
60
61 If you want to determine whether logwatch can connect to mail over the
62 network, you must turn on the logwatch_can_network_connect_mail bool‐
63 ean. Disabled by default.
64
65 setsebool -P logwatch_can_network_connect_mail 1
66
67
68
69 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
70 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
71
72 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
73
74
75
76 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
77 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
78
79 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
80
81
82
83 If you want to support NFS home directories, you must turn on the
84 use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
85
86 setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
87
88
89
90 If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the
91 use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
92
93 setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1
94
95
96
98 The SELinux process type logwatch_t can manage files labeled with the
99 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
100 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

171 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
172 type.
173
174 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
175
176 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
177 SELinux logwatch policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
178 logwatch processes in as secure a method as possible.
179
180 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
181
182 SELinux defines the file context types for the logwatch, if you wanted
183 to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
184 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
185 storecon to put the labels on disk.
186
187 semanage fcontext -a -t logwatch_mail_tmp_t '/srv/mylogwatch_con‐
188 tent(/.*)?'
189 restorecon -R -v /srv/mylogwatch_content
190
191 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
192 match multiple files.
193
194 The following file types are defined for logwatch:
195
196
197
198 logwatch_cache_t
199
200 - Set files with the logwatch_cache_t type, if you want to store the
201 files under the /var/cache directory.
202
203
204 Paths:
205 /var/lib/epylog(/.*)?, /var/lib/logcheck(/.*)?, /var/cache/log‐
206 watch(/.*)?
207
208
209 logwatch_exec_t
210
211 - Set files with the logwatch_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
212 executable to the logwatch_t domain.
213
214
215 Paths:
216 /usr/sbin/epylog, /usr/sbin/logcheck, /usr/sbin/logwatch.pl,
217 /usr/share/logwatch/scripts/logwatch.pl
218
219
220 logwatch_lock_t
221
222 - Set files with the logwatch_lock_t type, if you want to treat the
223 files as logwatch lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
224
225
226
227 logwatch_mail_tmp_t
228
229 - Set files with the logwatch_mail_tmp_t type, if you want to store
230 logwatch mail temporary files in the /tmp directories.
231
232
233
234 logwatch_tmp_t
235
236 - Set files with the logwatch_tmp_t type, if you want to store logwatch
237 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
238
239
240
241 logwatch_var_run_t
242
243 - Set files with the logwatch_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
244 logwatch files under the /run or /var/run directory.
245
246
247
248 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
249 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
250 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
251 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
252
253
255 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
256 mappings.
257
258 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
259 process type is permissive.
260
261 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
262 icy modules.
263
264 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
265
266
267 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
268 icy settings.
