6 svc_start_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the svc_start
7 processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the svc_start processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The svc_start processes execute with the svc_start_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 svc_start_t
20
24 The svc_start_t SELinux type can be entered via the svc_start_exec_t
25 file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the svc_start_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29 /usr/bin/svc, /usr/bin/svok, /usr/bin/svscan, /usr/bin/supervise,
31 /usr/bin/svscanboot
32
34 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
35 system
36 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
38 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
40 svc_start policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
41 svc_start processes in as secure a method as possible.
42 The following process types are defined for svc_start:
44 svc_start_t
46 Note: semanage permissive -a svc_start_t can be used to make the
48 process type svc_start_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
49 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
50 still generated.
51
54 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
55 svc_start policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
56 allow you to manipulate the policy and run svc_start with the tightest
57 access possible.
58 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
62 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
63 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
65
69 The SELinux process type svc_start_t can manage files labeled with the
70 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
71 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
72 svc_svc_t
74 /service/.*
76 /var/axfrdns(/.*)?
77 /var/tinydns(/.*)?
78 /var/service/.*
79 /var/dnscache(/.*)?
80 /var/qmail/supervise(/.*)?
81 /service
82
85 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
86 type.
87 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
89 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
91 SELinux svc_start policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
92 svc_start processes in as secure a method as possible.
93 The following file types are defined for svc_start:
95 svc_start_exec_t
99 - Set files with the svc_start_exec_t type, if you want to transition
101 an executable to the svc_start_t domain.
102 Paths:
105 /usr/bin/svc, /usr/bin/svok, /usr/bin/svscan, /usr/bin/supervise,
106 /usr/bin/svscanboot
107 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
110 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
111 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
112 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
113
116 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
117 mappings.
118 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
120 process type is permissive.
121 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
123 icy modules.
124 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
126 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
129 icy settings.
