6 pdns_control_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pdns_con‐
7 trol processes
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the pdns_control processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12 The pdns_control processes execute with the pdns_control_t SELinux
14 type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing
15 the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
16 For example:
18 ps -eZ | grep pdns_control_t
20
24 The pdns_control_t SELinux type can be entered via the pdns_con‐
25 trol_exec_t file type.
26 The default entrypoint paths for the pdns_control_t domain are the fol‐
28 lowing:
29 /usr/bin/pdns_control
31
33 SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
34 system
35 You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
37 Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
39 pdns_control policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
40 pdns_control processes in as secure a method as possible.
41 The following process types are defined for pdns_control:
43 pdns_control_t
45 Note: semanage permissive -a pdns_control_t can be used to make the
47 process type pdns_control_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48 permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
49 still generated.
50
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
54 pdns_control policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
55 allow you to manipulate the policy and run pdns_control with the tight‐
56 est access possible.
57 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 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64
68 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
69 type.
70 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
72 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
74 SELinux pdns_control policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
75 their pdns_control processes in as secure a method as possible.
76 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
78 SELinux defines the file context types for the pdns_control, if you
80 wanted to store files with these types in a different paths, you need
81 to execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then
82 use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
83 semanage fcontext -a -t pdns_control_exec_t '/srv/pdns_control/con‐
85 tent(/.*)?'
86 restorecon -R -v /srv/mypdns_control_content
87 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
89 match multiple files.
90 The following file types are defined for pdns_control:
92 pdns_control_exec_t
96 - Set files with the pdns_control_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
98 tion an executable to the pdns_control_t domain.
99 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
103 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
104 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
105 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
106
109 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
110 mappings.
111 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
113 process type is permissive.
114 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
116 icy modules.
117 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
119 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
122 icy settings.
