6 shorewall_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the shorewall
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the shorewall processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The shorewall processes execute with the shorewall_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 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep shorewall_t
20
24 The shorewall_t SELinux type can be entered via the shorewall_exec_t,
25 shorewall_var_lib_t file types.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the shorewall_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29 /sbin/shorewall6?, /usr/sbin/shorewall6?, /sbin/shorewall-lite,
31 /usr/sbin/shorewall-lite, /var/lib/shorewall(/.*)?, /var/lib/shore‐
32 wall6(/.*)?, /var/lib/shorewall-lite(/.*)?, /var/lib/shore‐
33 wall6-lite(/.*)?

36 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
37 system
38 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
40 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
42 shorewall policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their shore‐
43 wall processes in as secure a method as possible.
44 The following process types are defined for shorewall:
46 shorewall_t
48 Note: semanage permissive -a shorewall_t can be used to make the
50 process type shorewall_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
51 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
52 still generated.
53
56 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. shore‐
57 wall policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
58 you to manipulate the policy and run shorewall with the tightest access
59 possible.
60 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
64 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
65 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
67 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
71 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
72 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
74
78 The SELinux process type shorewall_t can manage files labeled with the
79 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
80 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

159 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
160 type.
161 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
163 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
165 SELinux shorewall policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
166 shorewall processes in as secure a method as possible.
167 EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
169 shorewall policy stores data with multiple different file context types
172 under the /var/lib/shorewall directory. If you would like to store the
173 data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
174 ate an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the
175 /srv directory you would execute the following command:
176 semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/shorewall /srv/shorewall
178 restorecon -R -v /srv/shorewall
179 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
181 SELinux defines the file context types for the shorewall, 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 semanage fcontext -a -t shorewall_log_t '/srv/myshorewall_con‐
188 tent(/.*)?'
189 restorecon -R -v /srv/myshorewall_content
190 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
192 match multiple files.
193 The following file types are defined for shorewall:
195 shorewall_etc_t
199 - Set files with the shorewall_etc_t type, if you want to store shore‐
201 wall files in the /etc directories.
202 Paths:
205 /etc/shorewall(/.*)?, /etc/shorewall6(/.*)?, /etc/shorewall-
206 lite(/.*)?
207 shorewall_exec_t
210 - Set files with the shorewall_exec_t type, if you want to transition
212 an executable to the shorewall_t domain.
213 Paths:
216 /sbin/shorewall6?, /usr/sbin/shorewall6?, /sbin/shorewall-lite,
217 /usr/sbin/shorewall-lite
218 shorewall_initrc_exec_t
221 - Set files with the shorewall_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
223 sition an executable to the shorewall_initrc_t domain.
224 shorewall_lock_t
228 - Set files with the shorewall_lock_t type, if you want to treat the
230 files as shorewall lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
231 shorewall_log_t
235 - Set files with the shorewall_log_t type, if you want to treat the
237 data as shorewall log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc‐
238 tory.
239 shorewall_tmp_t
243 - Set files with the shorewall_tmp_t type, if you want to store shore‐
245 wall temporary files in the /tmp directories.
246 shorewall_var_lib_t
250 - Set files with the shorewall_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
252 shorewall files under the /var/lib directory.
253 Paths:
256 /var/lib/shorewall(/.*)?, /var/lib/shorewall6(/.*)?,
257 /var/lib/shorewall-lite(/.*)?, /var/lib/shorewall6-lite(/.*)?
258 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
261 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
262 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
263 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
264
267 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
268 mappings.
269 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
271 process type is permissive.
272 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
274 icy modules.
275 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
277 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
280 icy settings.
