7 cesses

10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the motion processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The motion processes execute with the motion_t SELinux type. You can
14 check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command
15 with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep motion_t
20
21
22
24 The motion_t SELinux type can be entered via the motion_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the motion_t domain are the following:
28
29 /usr/bin/motion
30
32 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
33 system
34
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
36
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
38 motion policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their motion
39 processes in as secure a method as possible.
40
41 The following process types are defined for motion:
42
43 motion_t
44
45 Note: semanage permissive -a motion_t can be used to make the process
46 type motion_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
47 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
48 ated.
49
50
52 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. motion
53 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54 manipulate the policy and run motion with the tightest access possible.

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

71
72
74 The SELinux process type motion_t can manage files labeled with the
75 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
76 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

147 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
148 type.
149
150 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
151
152 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
153 SELinux motion policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
154 motion processes in as secure a method as possible.
155
156 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
157
158 SELinux defines the file context types for the motion, if you wanted to
159 store files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute
160 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
161 storecon to put the labels on disk.
162
163 semanage fcontext -a -t motion_exec_t '/srv/motion/content(/.*)?'
164 restorecon -R -v /srv/mymotion_content
165
166 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
167 match multiple files.
168
169 The following file types are defined for motion:
170
171
172
173 motion_data_t
174
175 - Set files with the motion_data_t type, if you want to treat the files
176 as motion content.
177
178
179
180 motion_exec_t
181
182 - Set files with the motion_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
183 executable to the motion_t domain.
184
185
186
187 motion_log_t
188
189 - Set files with the motion_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
190 as motion log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
191
192
193
194 motion_unit_file_t
195
196 - Set files with the motion_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
197 files as motion unit content.
198
199
200
201 motion_var_run_t
202
203 - Set files with the motion_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
204 motion files under the /run or /var/run directory.
205
206
207
208 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
209 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
210 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
211 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
212
213
215 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
216 mappings.
217
218 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
219 process type is permissive.
220
221 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
222 icy modules.
223
224 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
225
226
227 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
228 icy settings.
