6 dictd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the dictd processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the dictd processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The dictd processes execute with the dictd_t SELinux type. You can
13 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14 with the -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep dictd_t
19
20
21
23 The dictd_t SELinux type can be entered via the dictd_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the dictd_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/sbin/dictd
28
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 dictd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their dictd pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for dictd:
40
41 dictd_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a dictd_t can be used to make the process
44 type dictd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
45 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46 ated.
47
48
50 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. dictd
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run dictd with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56 If you want to dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched,
57 sys_nice), you must turn on the daemons_dontaudit_scheduling boolean.
58 Enabled by default.
59
60 setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 1
61
62
63
64 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
65 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
66
67 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
68
69
70
71 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
72 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
73
74 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
75
76
77
79 SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
80
81 You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
82 command:
83
84 semanage port -l
85
86
87 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
88 SELinux dictd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
89 dictd processes in as secure a method as possible.
90
91 The following port types are defined for dictd:
92
93
94 dict_port_t
95
96
97
98 Default Defined Ports:
99 tcp 2628
100
102 The SELinux process type dictd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
103 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
104 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

162 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
163 type.
164
165 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
166
167 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
168 SELinux dictd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
169 dictd processes in as secure a method as possible.
170
171 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
172
173 SELinux defines the file context types for the dictd, if you wanted to
174 store files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute
175 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
176 storecon to put the labels on disk.
177
178 semanage fcontext -a -t dictd_exec_t '/srv/dictd/content(/.*)?'
179 restorecon -R -v /srv/mydictd_content
180
181 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
182 match multiple files.
183
184 The following file types are defined for dictd:
185
186
187
188 dictd_etc_t
189
190 - Set files with the dictd_etc_t type, if you want to store dictd files
191 in the /etc directories.
192
193
194
195 dictd_exec_t
196
197 - Set files with the dictd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
198 executable to the dictd_t domain.
199
200
201
202 dictd_initrc_exec_t
203
204 - Set files with the dictd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
205 tion an executable to the dictd_initrc_t domain.
206
207
208
209 dictd_var_lib_t
210
211 - Set files with the dictd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
212 dictd files under the /var/lib directory.
213
214
215
216 dictd_var_run_t
217
218 - Set files with the dictd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
219 dictd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
220
221
222
223 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
224 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
225 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
226 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
227
228
230 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
231 mappings.
232
233 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
234 process type is permissive.
235
236 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
237 icy modules.
238
239 semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
240
241 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
242
243
244 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
245 icy settings.
