NAME

6       journalctl_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the journalctl
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the journalctl processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  journalctl  processes  execute with the journalctl_t SELinux type.
14       You can check if you have these processes running by executing  the  ps
15       command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep journalctl_t
20

22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  journalctl_t SELinux type can be entered via the journalctl_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the journalctl_t domain are  the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /usr/bin/journalctl
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       journalctl  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their jour‐
40       nalctl processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for journalctl:
43
44       journalctl_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a journalctl_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  journalctl_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.  jour‐
54       nalctl policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55       you  to  manipulate the policy and run journalctl with the tightest ac‐
56       cess possible.
57
58
59
60       If you want to allow system to run with  NIS,  you  must  turn  on  the
61       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
62
63       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
64
65
66
67       If  you  want  to  support  NFS  home directories, you must turn on the
68       use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70       setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
71
72
73
74       If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you  must  turn  on  the
75       use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
76
77       setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1

MANAGED FILES

82       The SELinux process type journalctl_t can manage files labeled with the
83       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
84       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
85
86       krb5_host_rcache_t
87
88            /var/tmp/krb5_0.rcache2
89            /var/cache/krb5rcache(/.*)?
90            /var/tmp/nfs_0
91            /var/tmp/DNS_25
92            /var/tmp/host_0
93            /var/tmp/imap_0
94            /var/tmp/HTTP_23
95            /var/tmp/HTTP_48
96            /var/tmp/ldap_55
97            /var/tmp/ldap_487
98            /var/tmp/ldapmap1_0
99
100       user_home_type
101
102            all user home files
103
104

FILE CONTEXTS

106       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
107       type.
108
109       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
110
111       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
112       SELinux  journalctl  policy  is  very  flexible allowing users to setup
113       their journalctl processes in as secure a method as possible.
114
115       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
116
117       SELinux defines the file context  types  for  the  journalctl,  if  you
118       wanted  to  store files with these types in a different paths, you need
119       to execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and  then
120       use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
121
122       semanage   fcontext   -a   -t  journalctl_exec_t  '/srv/journalctl/con‐
123       tent(/.*)?'
124       restorecon -R -v /srv/myjournalctl_content
125
126       Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions  to  specify  labels  that
127       match multiple files.
128
129       The following file types are defined for journalctl:
130
131
132
133       journalctl_exec_t
134
135       -  Set files with the journalctl_exec_t type, if you want to transition
136       an executable to the journalctl_t domain.
137
138
139
140       Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon  command.
141       If  you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
142       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
143       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
144
145

COMMANDS

147       semanage  fcontext  can also be used to manipulate default file context
148       mappings.
149
150       semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate  whether  or  not  a
151       process type is permissive.
152
153       semanage  module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
154       icy modules.
155
156       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
157
158
159       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
160       icy settings.
