NAME

6       logrotate_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the logrotate
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the logrotate  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  logrotate processes execute with the logrotate_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 logrotate_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  logrotate_t  SELinux  type can be entered via the logrotate_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the logrotate_t domain are the follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /etc/cron.(daily|weekly)/sysklogd, /usr/sbin/logrotate
31

PROCESS TYPES

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       logrotate  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their logro‐
40       tate processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for logrotate:
43
44       logrotate_t, logrotate_mail_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a  logrotate_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  logrotate_t  permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.
50
51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux  policy is customizable based on least access required.  logro‐
54       tate policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that  allow
55       you to manipulate the policy and run logrotate with the tightest access
56       possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow logrotate to read logs inside, you  must  turn  on
61       the logrotate_read_inside_containers boolean. Disabled by default.
62
63       setsebool -P logrotate_read_inside_containers 1
64
65
66
67       If  you  want to allow logrotate to manage cifs files, you must turn on
68       the logrotate_use_cifs boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P logrotate_use_cifs 1
71
72
73
74       If you want to allow logrotate domain to manage fuse  files,  you  must
75       turn on the logrotate_use_fusefs boolean. Disabled by default.
76
77       setsebool -P logrotate_use_fusefs 1
78
79
80
81       If  you  want  to allow logrotate to manage nfs files, you must turn on
82       the logrotate_use_nfs boolean. Disabled by default.
83
84       setsebool -P logrotate_use_nfs 1
85
86
87
88       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
89       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
90
91       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
92
93
94
95       If  you  want  to  allow  system  to run with NIS, you must turn on the
96       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
97
98       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
99
100
101
102       If you want to support NFS home  directories,  you  must  turn  on  the
103       use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
104
105       setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
106
107
108
109       If  you  want  to  support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the
110       use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
111
112       setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1

MANAGED FILES

117       The SELinux process type logrotate_t can manage files labeled with  the
118       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
119       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

237       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
238       type.
239
240       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
241
242       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
243       SELinux logrotate policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
244       logrotate processes in as secure a method as possible.
245
246       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
247
248
249       logrotate policy stores data with multiple different file context types
250       under the /var/lib/logrotate directory.  If you would like to store the
251       data  in a different directory you can use the semanage command to cre‐
252       ate an equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to store this data under the
253       /srv directory you would execute the following command:
254
255       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/logrotate /srv/logrotate
256       restorecon -R -v /srv/logrotate
257
258       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
259
260       SELinux defines the file context types for the logrotate, if you wanted
261       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
262       the  semanage  command  to  specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
263       storecon to put the labels on disk.
264
265       semanage fcontext  -a  -t  logrotate_mail_tmp_t  '/srv/mylogrotate_con‐
266       tent(/.*)?'
267       restorecon -R -v /srv/mylogrotate_content
268
269       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
270       match multiple files.
271
272       The following file types are defined for logrotate:
273
274
275
276       logrotate_exec_t
277
278       - Set files with the logrotate_exec_t type, if you want  to  transition
279       an executable to the logrotate_t domain.
280
281
282       Paths:
283            /etc/cron.(daily|weekly)/sysklogd, /usr/sbin/logrotate
284
285
286       logrotate_lock_t
287
288       -  Set  files  with the logrotate_lock_t type, if you want to treat the
289       files as logrotate lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
290
291
292
293       logrotate_mail_tmp_t
294
295       - Set files with the logrotate_mail_tmp_t type, if you  want  to  store
296       logrotate mail temporary files in the /tmp directories.
297
298
299
300       logrotate_tmp_t
301
302       -  Set files with the logrotate_tmp_t type, if you want to store logro‐
303       tate temporary files in the /tmp directories.
304
305
306
307       logrotate_var_lib_t
308
309       - Set files with the logrotate_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
310       logrotate files under the /var/lib directory.
311
312
313       Paths:
314            /var/lib/logrotate(/.*)?, /var/lib/logrotate.status.*
315
316
317       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
318       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
319       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
320       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
321
322

COMMANDS

324       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
325       mappings.
326
327       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
328       process type is permissive.
329
330       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
331       icy modules.
332
333       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
334
335
336       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
337       icy settings.
