NAME

6       afs_ptserver_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the afs_pt‐
7       server processes
8

DESCRIPTION

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

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  afs_ptserver_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered  via  the  afs_pt‐
25       server_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the afs_ptserver_t domain are the fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /usr/afs/bin/ptserver, /usr/libexec/openafs/ptserver
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       afs_ptserver  policy  is  very  flexible  allowing users to setup their
40       afs_ptserver processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for afs_ptserver:
43
44       afs_ptserver_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a afs_ptserver_t can be  used  to  make  the
47       process type afs_ptserver_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.

51

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.  afs_pt‐
54       server policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55       you to manipulate the policy and run afs_ptserver with the tightest ac‐
56       cess possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
61       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
62
63       setsebool -P fips_mode 1

MANAGED FILES

68       The  SELinux  process type afs_ptserver_t can manage files labeled with
69       the following file types.  The paths listed are the default  paths  for
70       these  file  types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
71       missions.
72
73       afs_logfile_t
74
75            /usr/afs/logs(/.*)?
76
77       afs_pt_db_t
78
79            /usr/afs/db/pr.*

81

FILE CONTEXTS

83       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
84       type.
85
86       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
87
88       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
89       SELinux afs_ptserver policy is very flexible allowing  users  to  setup
90       their afs_ptserver processes in as secure a method as possible.
91
92       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
93
94       SELinux  defines  the  file  context types for the afs_ptserver, if you
95       wanted to store files with these types in a different paths,  you  need
96       to  execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then
97       use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
98
99       semanage fcontext  -a  -t  afs_ptserver_exec_t  '/srv/afs_ptserver/con‐
100       tent(/.*)?'
101       restorecon -R -v /srv/myafs_ptserver_content
102
103       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
104       match multiple files.
105
106       The following file types are defined for afs_ptserver:
107
108
109
110       afs_ptserver_exec_t
111
112       - Set files with the afs_ptserver_exec_t type, if you want  to  transi‐
113       tion an executable to the afs_ptserver_t domain.
114
115
116       Paths:
117            /usr/afs/bin/ptserver, /usr/libexec/openafs/ptserver
118
119
120       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
121       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
122       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
123       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

125

COMMANDS

127       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
128       mappings.
129
130       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
131       process type is permissive.
132
133       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
134       icy modules.
135
136       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
137
138
139       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
140       icy settings.
