NAME

6       acct_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the acct processes
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Security-Enhanced  Linux secures the acct processes via flexible manda‐
10       tory access control.
11
12       The acct processes execute with the acct_t SELinux type. You can  check
13       if  you  have  these processes running by executing the ps command with
14       the -Z qualifier.
15
16       For example:
17
18       ps -eZ | grep acct_t

21

ENTRYPOINTS

23       The acct_t SELinux type can be entered via the acct_exec_t file type.
24
25       The default entrypoint paths for the acct_t domain are the following:
26
27       /etc/cron.(daily|monthly)/acct, /sbin/accton, /usr/sbin/accton
28

PROCESS TYPES

30       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31       system
32
33       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34
35       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
36       acct policy is very flexible allowing users to setup  their  acct  pro‐
37       cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39       The following process types are defined for acct:
40
41       acct_t
42
43       Note:  semanage  permissive  -a  acct_t can be used to make the process
44       type acct_t permissive. SELinux does  not  deny  access  to  permissive
45       process  types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46       ated.

BOOLEANS

50       SELinux policy is customizable based on least  access  required.   acct
51       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52       manipulate the policy and run acct with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
57       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
58
59       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
60
61
62
63       If  you  want  to  allow  system  to run with NIS, you must turn on the
64       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
65
66       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

MANAGED FILES

71       The SELinux process type acct_t can manage files labeled with the  fol‐
72       lowing  file  types.   The paths listed are the default paths for these
73       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
74
75       acct_data_t
76
77            /var/account(/.*)?
78            /var/log/account(/.*)?
79
80       krb5_host_rcache_t
81
82            /var/tmp/krb5_0.rcache2
83            /var/cache/krb5rcache(/.*)?
84            /var/tmp/nfs_0
85            /var/tmp/DNS_25
86            /var/tmp/host_0
87            /var/tmp/imap_0
88            /var/tmp/HTTP_23

90            /var/tmp/ldap_55
91            /var/tmp/ldap_487
92            /var/tmp/ldapmap1_0

FILE CONTEXTS

100       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
101       type.
102
103       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
104
105       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
106       SELinux acct policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their acct
107       processes in as secure a method as possible.
108
109       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
110
111       SELinux  defines  the file context types for the acct, if you wanted to
112       store files with these types in a different paths, you need to  execute
113       the  semanage  command  to  specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
114       storecon to put the labels on disk.
115
116       semanage fcontext -a -t acct_exec_t '/srv/acct/content(/.*)?'
117       restorecon -R -v /srv/myacct_content
118
119       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
120       match multiple files.
121
122       The following file types are defined for acct:
123
124
125
126       acct_data_t
127
128       -  Set  files with the acct_data_t type, if you want to treat the files
129       as acct content.
130
131
132       Paths:
133            /var/account(/.*)?, /var/log/account(/.*)?
134
135
136       acct_exec_t
137
138       - Set files with the acct_exec_t type, if you want to transition an ex‐
139       ecutable to the acct_t domain.
140
141
142       Paths:
143            /etc/cron.(daily|monthly)/acct, /sbin/accton, /usr/sbin/accton
144
145
146       acct_initrc_exec_t
147
148       - Set files with the acct_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition
149       an executable to the acct_initrc_t domain.
150
151
152
153       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
154       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
155       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
156       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

COMMANDS

160       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
161       mappings.
162
163       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
164       process type is permissive.
165
166       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
167       icy modules.
168
169       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
170
171
172       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
173       icy settings.
