NAME

6       vnstat_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced  Linux Policy for the vnstat pro‐
7       cesses
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux  secures  the  vnstat  processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  vnstat  processes  execute with the vnstat_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 vnstat_t
20

22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  vnstat_t  SELinux  type  can be entered via the vnstat_exec_t file
25       type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the vnstat_t domain are the following:
28
29       /usr/bin/vnstat
30

PROCESS TYPES

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       vnstat policy is very flexible allowing users  to  setup  their  vnstat
39       processes in as secure a method as possible.
40
41       The following process types are defined for vnstat:
42
43       vnstat_t, vnstatd_t
44
45       Note:  semanage  permissive -a vnstat_t can be used to make the process
46       type vnstat_t permissive. SELinux does not deny  access  to  permissive
47       process  types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
48       ated.

BOOLEANS

52       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.   vnstat
53       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54       manipulate the policy and run vnstat with the tightest access possible.
55
56
57
58       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
59       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
60
61       setsebool -P fips_mode 1

64

MANAGED FILES

66       The  SELinux  process  type  vnstat_t can manage files labeled with the
67       following file types.  The paths listed are the default paths for these
68       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.
69
70       vnstatd_var_lib_t
71
72            /var/lib/vnstat(/.*)?
73
74

FILE CONTEXTS

76       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
77       type.
78
79       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
80
81       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
82       SELinux  vnstat  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their
83       vnstat processes in as secure a method as possible.
84
85       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
86
87       SELinux defines the file context types for the vnstat, if you wanted to
88       store  files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute
89       the semanage command to specify alternate labeling  and  then  use  re‐
90       storecon to put the labels on disk.
91
92       semanage fcontext -a -t vnstat_exec_t '/srv/vnstat/content(/.*)?'
93       restorecon -R -v /srv/myvnstat_content
94
95       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
96       match multiple files.
97
98       The following file types are defined for vnstat:
99
100
101
102       vnstat_exec_t
103
104       - Set files with the vnstat_exec_t type, if you want to  transition  an
105       executable to the vnstat_t domain.
106
107
108
109       vnstatd_exec_t
110
111       -  Set files with the vnstatd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
112       executable to the vnstatd_t domain.
113
114
115
116       vnstatd_initrc_exec_t
117
118       - Set files with the vnstatd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
119       tion an executable to the vnstatd_initrc_t domain.
120
121
122
123       vnstatd_var_lib_t
124
125       -  Set  files with the vnstatd_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
126       vnstatd files under the /var/lib directory.
127
128
129
130       vnstatd_var_run_t
131
132       - Set files with the vnstatd_var_run_t type, if you want to  store  the
133       vnstatd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
134
135
136
137       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
138       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
139       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
140       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
141
142

COMMANDS

144       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
145       mappings.
146
147       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
148       process type is permissive.
149
150       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
151       icy modules.
152
153       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
154
155
156       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
157       icy settings.
