6 ptp4l_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ptp4l processes
7
9 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ptp4l processes via flexible manda‐
10 tory access control.
11
12 The ptp4l processes execute with the ptp4l_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 ptp4l_t
19
20
21
23 The ptp4l_t SELinux type can be entered via the ptp4l_exec_t file type.
24
25 The default entrypoint paths for the ptp4l_t domain are the following:
26
27 /usr/sbin/ptp4l
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 ptp4l policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ptp4l pro‐
37 cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39 The following process types are defined for ptp4l:
40
41 ptp4l_t
42
43 Note: semanage permissive -a ptp4l_t can be used to make the process
44 type ptp4l_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. ptp4l
51 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52 manipulate the policy and run ptp4l 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

72 The SELinux process type ptp4l_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
73 lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
74 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

127 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
128 type.
129
130 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
131
132 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
133 SELinux ptp4l policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
134 ptp4l processes in as secure a method as possible.
135
136 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
137
138 SELinux defines the file context types for the ptp4l, if you wanted to
139 store files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute
140 the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use re‐
141 storecon to put the labels on disk.
142
143 semanage fcontext -a -t ptp4l_exec_t '/srv/ptp4l/content(/.*)?'
144 restorecon -R -v /srv/myptp4l_content
145
146 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
147 match multiple files.
148
149 The following file types are defined for ptp4l:
150
151
152
153 ptp4l_exec_t
154
155 - Set files with the ptp4l_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
156 executable to the ptp4l_t domain.
157
158
159
160 ptp4l_unit_file_t
161
162 - Set files with the ptp4l_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
163 files as ptp4l unit content.
164
165
166
167 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
168 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
169 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
170 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
171
172
174 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
175 mappings.
176
177 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
178 process type is permissive.
179
180 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
181 icy modules.
182
183 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
184
185
186 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
187 icy settings.
