6 gpm_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the gpm processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the gpm processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The gpm processes execute with the gpm_t SELinux type. You can check if
13 you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the
14 -Z qualifier.
15
16 For example:
17
18 ps -eZ | grep gpm_t
19
20
21
23 The gpm_t SELinux type can be entered via the gpm_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the gpm_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/sbin/gpm
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 gpm policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their gpm processes
37 in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for gpm:
40
41 gpm_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a gpm_t can be used to make the process type
44 gpm_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process
45 types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.
46
47
49 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. gpm
50 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
51 manipulate the policy and run gpm with the tightest access possible.

54
55 If you want to dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched,
56 sys_nice), you must turn on the daemons_dontaudit_scheduling boolean.
57 Enabled by default.
58
59 setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 1
60
61
62
63 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
64 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
65
66 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
67
68
69
71 The SELinux process type gpm_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.

120 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
121 type.
122
123 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
124
125 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
126 SELinux gpm policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their gpm
127 processes in as secure a method as possible.
128
129 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
130
131 SELinux defines the file context types for the gpm, if you wanted to
132 store files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute
133 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
134 storecon to put the labels on disk.
135
136 semanage fcontext -a -t gpm_exec_t '/srv/gpm/content(/.*)?'
137 restorecon -R -v /srv/mygpm_content
138
139 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
140 match multiple files.
141
142 The following file types are defined for gpm:
143
144
145
146 gpm_conf_t
147
148 - Set files with the gpm_conf_t type, if you want to treat the files as
149 gpm configuration data, usually stored under the /etc directory.
150
151
152 Paths:
153 /etc/gpm(/.*)?, /etc/gpm-.*.conf
154
155
156 gpm_exec_t
157
158 - Set files with the gpm_exec_t type, if you want to transition an exe‐
159 cutable to the gpm_t domain.
160
161
162
163 gpm_initrc_exec_t
164
165 - Set files with the gpm_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition
166 an executable to the gpm_initrc_t domain.
167
168
169
170 gpm_tmp_t
171
172 - Set files with the gpm_tmp_t type, if you want to store gpm temporary
173 files in the /tmp directories.
174
175
176
177 gpm_var_run_t
178
179 - Set files with the gpm_var_run_t type, if you want to store the gpm
180 files under the /run or /var/run directory.
181
182
183
184 gpmctl_t
185
186 - Set files with the gpmctl_t type, if you want to treat the files as
187 gpmctl data.
188
189
190 Paths:
191 /dev/gpmctl, /dev/gpmdata
192
193
194 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
195 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
196 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
197 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
198
199
201 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
202 mappings.
203
204 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
205 process type is permissive.
206
207 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
208 icy modules.
209
210 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
211
212
213 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
214 icy settings.
