6 updfstab_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the updfstab pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the updfstab processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The updfstab processes execute with the updfstab_t SELinux type. You
14 can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps com‐
15 mand with the -Z qualifier.
16
17 For example:
18
19 ps -eZ | grep updfstab_t
20
21
22
24 The updfstab_t SELinux type can be entered via the updfstab_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the updfstab_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/sbin/updfstab, /usr/sbin/fstab-sync
31
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 updfstab policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their updfstab
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for updfstab:
43
44 updfstab_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a updfstab_t can be used to make the process
47 type updfstab_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
48 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
49 ated.
50
51
53 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. updf‐
54 stab policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
55 you to manipulate the policy and run updfstab with the tightest access
56 possible.
57
58
59
60 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
63 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
64
65
66
67 If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
68 nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
69
70 setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
71
72
73
75 The SELinux process type updfstab_t can manage files labeled with the
76 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
77 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

114 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
115 type.
116
117 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
118
119 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
120 SELinux updfstab policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
121 updfstab processes in as secure a method as possible.
122
123 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
124
125 SELinux defines the file context types for the updfstab, if you wanted
126 to store files with these types in a different paths, you need to exe‐
127 cute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use
128 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
129
130 semanage fcontext -a -t updfstab_exec_t '/srv/updfstab/content(/.*)?'
131 restorecon -R -v /srv/myupdfstab_content
132
133 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
134 match multiple files.
135
136 The following file types are defined for updfstab:
137
138
139
140 updfstab_exec_t
141
142 - Set files with the updfstab_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
143 executable to the updfstab_t domain.
144
145
146 Paths:
147 /usr/sbin/updfstab, /usr/sbin/fstab-sync
148
149
150 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
151 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
152 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
153 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
154
155
157 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
158 mappings.
159
160 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
161 process type is permissive.
162
163 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
164 icy modules.
165
166 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
167
168
169 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
170 icy settings.
