NAME

6       syslogd_selinux  -  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the syslogd pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures  the  syslogd  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  syslogd processes execute with the syslogd_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 syslogd_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  syslogd_t  SELinux type can be entered via the syslogd_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the syslogd_t domain are  the  follow‐
28       ing:
29
30       /sbin/syslogd,    /sbin/minilogd,    /sbin/rsyslogd,   /sbin/syslog-ng,
31       /usr/sbin/metalog,        /usr/sbin/syslogd,        /usr/sbin/minilogd,
32       /usr/sbin/rsyslogd, /usr/sbin/syslog-ng, /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-jour‐
33       nald, /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-kmsg-syslogd
34

PROCESS TYPES

36       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
37       system
38
39       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
40
41       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
42       syslogd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup  their  syslogd
43       processes in as secure a method as possible.
44
45       The following process types are defined for syslogd:
46
47       syslogd_t
48
49       Note:  semanage permissive -a syslogd_t can be used to make the process
50       type syslogd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access  to  permissive
51       process  types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
52       ated.
53
54

BOOLEANS

56       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.  syslogd
57       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
58       manipulate the policy and run syslogd with the tightest  access  possi‐
59       ble.
60
61
62
63       If  you  want  to  dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched,
64       sys_nice), you must turn on the  daemons_dontaudit_scheduling  boolean.
65       Enabled by default.
66
67       setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 1
68
69
70
71       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
72       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
73
74       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
75
76
77
78       If you want to allow confined applications to run  with  kerberos,  you
79       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.
80
81       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
82
83
84
85       If  you  want  to allow syslogd daemon append public content files, you
86       must turn on the  logging_syslogd_append_public_content  boolean.  Dis‐
87       abled by default.
88
89       setsebool -P logging_syslogd_append_public_content 1
90
91
92
93       If  you want to allow syslogd daemon to send mail, you must turn on the
94       logging_syslogd_can_sendmail boolean. Disabled by default.
95
96       setsebool -P logging_syslogd_can_sendmail 1
97
98
99
100       If you want to allow syslogd daemon list non security directories,  you
101       must  turn  on the logging_syslogd_list_non_security_dirs boolean. Dis‐
102       abled by default.

105
106
107
108       If you want to allow syslogd the ability to call nagios plugins. It  is
109       turned  on  by omprog rsyslog plugin, you must turn on the logging_sys‐
110       logd_run_nagios_plugins boolean. Disabled by default.

112       setsebool -P logging_syslogd_run_nagios_plugins 1
113
114
115
116       If you want to allow syslogd the ability to read/write  terminals,  you
117       must turn on the logging_syslogd_use_tty boolean. Enabled by default.
118
119       setsebool -P logging_syslogd_use_tty 1
120
121

125
126       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
127
128
129

PORT TYPES

131       SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
132
133       You can see the types associated with a port  by  using  the  following
134       command:
135
136       semanage port -l
137
138
139       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these ports.
140       SELinux syslogd policy is very flexible allowing users to  setup  their
141       syslogd processes in as secure a method as possible.
142
143       The following port types are defined for syslogd:
144
145
146       syslog_tls_port_t
147
148
149
150       Default Defined Ports:
151                 tcp 6514,10514
152                 udp 6514,10514
153
154
155       syslogd_port_t
156
157
158
159       Default Defined Ports:
160                 tcp 601,20514
161                 udp 514,601,20514
162

MANAGED FILES

164       The  SELinux  process  type syslogd_t can manage files labeled with the
165       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
166       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

257       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
258       type.
259
260       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
261
262       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
263       SELinux  syslogd  policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
264       syslogd processes in as secure a method as possible.
265
266       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
267
268
269       syslogd policy stores data with multiple different file  context  types
270       under the /var/lib/syslog-ng directory.  If you would like to store the
271       data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to  cre‐
272       ate an equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to store this data under the
273       /srv directory you would execute the following command:
274
275       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/syslog-ng /srv/syslog-ng
276       restorecon -R -v /srv/syslog-ng
277
278       syslogd policy stores data with multiple different file  context  types
279       under the /var/run/syslog-ng directory.  If you would like to store the
280       data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to  cre‐
281       ate an equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to store this data under the
282       /srv directory you would execute the following command:
283
284       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/syslog-ng /srv/syslog-ng
285       restorecon -R -v /srv/syslog-ng
286
287       syslogd policy stores data with multiple different file  context  types
288       under  the  /var/run/systemd/journal  directory.   If you would like to
289       store the data in a different directory you can use the  semanage  com‐
290       mand  to  create  an  equivalence mapping.  If you wanted to store this
291       data under the /srv directory you would execute the following command:
292
293       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/systemd/journal /srv/journal
294       restorecon -R -v /srv/journal
295
296       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
297
298       SELinux defines the file context types for the syslogd, if  you  wanted
299       to  store files with these types in a different paths, you need to exe‐
300       cute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling  and  then  use
301       restorecon to put the labels on disk.
302
303       semanage fcontext -a -t syslogd_exec_t '/srv/syslogd/content(/.*)?'
304       restorecon -R -v /srv/mysyslogd_content
305
306       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
307       match multiple files.
308
309       The following file types are defined for syslogd:
310
311
312
313       syslogd_exec_t
314
315       - Set files with the syslogd_exec_t type, if you want to transition  an
316       executable to the syslogd_t domain.
317
318
319       Paths:
320            /sbin/syslogd,  /sbin/minilogd,  /sbin/rsyslogd,  /sbin/syslog-ng,
321            /usr/sbin/metalog,     /usr/sbin/syslogd,      /usr/sbin/minilogd,
322            /usr/sbin/rsyslogd, /usr/sbin/syslog-ng, /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-
323            journald, /usr/lib/systemd/systemd-kmsg-syslogd
324
325
326       syslogd_initrc_exec_t
327
328       - Set files with the syslogd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
329       tion an executable to the syslogd_initrc_t domain.
330
331
332
333       syslogd_tmp_t
334
335       -  Set  files with the syslogd_tmp_t type, if you want to store syslogd
336       temporary files in the /tmp directories.
337
338
339
340       syslogd_tmpfs_t
341
342       - Set files with the syslogd_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store syslogd
343       files on a tmpfs file system.
344
345
346
347       syslogd_unit_file_t
348
349       - Set files with the syslogd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
350       files as syslogd unit content.
351
352
353
354       syslogd_var_lib_t
355
356       - Set files with the syslogd_var_lib_t type, if you want to  store  the
357       syslogd files under the /var/lib directory.
358
359
360       Paths:
361            /var/lib/r?syslog(/.*)?,  /var/lib/syslog-ng(/.*)?,  /var/lib/sys‐
362            log-ng.persist, /var/lib/misc/syslog-ng.persist-?
363
364
365       syslogd_var_run_t
366
367       - Set files with the syslogd_var_run_t type, if you want to  store  the
368       syslogd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
369
370
371       Paths:
372            /var/run/log(/.*)?,    /var/run/syslog-ng.ctl,    /var/run/syslog-
373            ng(/.*)?,  /var/run/systemd/journal(/.*)?,  /var/run/systemd/jour‐
374            nal.[^/]+(/.*)?, /var/run/metalog.pid, /var/run/syslogd.pid
375
376
377       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
378       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
379       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
380       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
381
382

COMMANDS

384       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
385       mappings.
386
387       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
388       process type is permissive.
389
390       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
391       icy modules.
392
393       semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
394
395       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
396
397
398       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
399       icy settings.
