11 xguest_u is an SELinux User defined in the SELinux policy. SELinux
12 users have default roles, xguest_r. The default role has a default
13 type, xguest_t, associated with it.
14
15 The SELinux user will usually login to a system with a context that
16 looks like:
17
18 xguest_u:xguest_r:xguest_t:s0
19
20 Linux users are automatically assigned an SELinux users at login. Lo‐
21 gin programs use the SELinux User to assign initial context to the
22 user's shell.
23
24 SELinux policy uses the context to control the user's access.
25
26 By default all users are assigned to the SELinux user via the __de‐
27 fault__ flag
28
29 On Targeted policy systems the __default__ user is assigned to the un‐
30 confined_u SELinux user.
31
32 You can list all Linux User to SELinux user mapping using:
33
34 semanage login -l
35
36 If you wanted to change the default user mapping to use the xguest_u
37 user, you would execute:
38
39 semanage login -m -s xguest_u __default__
40
41
42 If you want to map the one Linux user (joe) to the SELinux user xguest,
43 you would execute:
44
45 $ semanage login -a -s xguest_u joe
46
47
48
50 The SELinux user xguest_u is defined in policy as a unprivileged user.
51 SELinux prevents unprivileged users from doing administration tasks
52 without transitioning to a different role.
53
54
57 The SELinux user xguest_u is able to X Windows login.
58
59
61 The SELinux user xguest_u is able to listen on the following tcp ports.

66 The SELinux user xguest_u is able to connect to the following tcp

143 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. xguest
144 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
145 manipulate the policy and run xguest with the tightest access possible.
146
147
148
149 If you want to allow xguest users to configure Network Manager and con‐
150 nect to apache ports, you must turn on the xguest_connect_network bool‐
151 ean. Enabled by default.
152
153 setsebool -P xguest_connect_network 1
154
155
156
157 If you want to allow xguest users to mount removable media, you must
158 turn on the xguest_mount_media boolean. Enabled by default.
159
160 setsebool -P xguest_mount_media 1
161
162
163
164 If you want to allow xguest to use blue tooth devices, you must turn on
165 the xguest_use_bluetooth boolean. Enabled by default.
166
167 setsebool -P xguest_use_bluetooth 1
168
169
170
171 If you want to deny all system processes and Linux users to use blue‐
172 tooth wireless technology, you must turn on the deny_bluetooth boolean.
173 Disabled by default.
174
175 setsebool -P deny_bluetooth 1
176
177
178
179 If you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
180 both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the executable
181 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the deny_execmem bool‐
182 ean. Disabled by default.
183
184 setsebool -P deny_execmem 1
185
186
187
188 If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
189 processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Disabled by de‐
190 fault.
191
192 setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
193
194
195
196 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
197 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
198
199 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
200
201
202
203 If you want to allow httpd cgi support, you must turn on the httpd_en‐
204 able_cgi boolean. Enabled by default.
205
206 setsebool -P httpd_enable_cgi 1
207
208
209
210 If you want to unify HTTPD handling of all content files, you must turn
211 on the httpd_unified boolean. Disabled by default.
212
213 setsebool -P httpd_unified 1
214
215
216
217 If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory,
218 you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by default.
219
220 setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
221
222
223
224 If you want to allow unconfined executables to make their stack exe‐
225 cutable. This should never, ever be necessary. Probably indicates a
226 badly coded executable, but could indicate an attack. This executable
227 should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on the selinuxuser_exec‐
228 stack boolean. Enabled by default.
229
230 setsebool -P selinuxuser_execstack 1
231
232
233
234 If you want to allow user to r/w files on filesystems that do not have
235 extended attributes (FAT, CDROM, FLOPPY), you must turn on the selin‐
236 uxuser_rw_noexattrfile boolean. Enabled by default.
237
238 setsebool -P selinuxuser_rw_noexattrfile 1
239
240
241
242 If you want to allow user to use ssh chroot environment, you must turn
243 on the selinuxuser_use_ssh_chroot boolean. Disabled by default.
244
245 setsebool -P selinuxuser_use_ssh_chroot 1
246
247
248
249 If you want to support NFS home directories, you must turn on the
250 use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
251
252 setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
253
254
255
256 If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the
257 use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
258
259 setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1
260
261
262
264 The SELinux user xguest_u is able execute home content files.
265
266
268 Three things can happen when xguest_t attempts to execute a program.
269
270 1. SELinux Policy can deny xguest_t from executing the program.
271
272
273
274 2. SELinux Policy can allow xguest_t to execute the program in the cur‐
275 rent user type.
276
277 Execute the following to see the types that the SELinux user
278 xguest_t can execute without transitioning:
279
280 sesearch -A -s xguest_t -c file -p execute_no_trans
281
282
283
284 3. SELinux can allow xguest_t to execute the program and transition to
285 a new type.
286
287 Execute the following to see the types that the SELinux user
288 xguest_t can execute and transition:
289
290 $ sesearch -A -s xguest_t -c process -p transition
291
292
293
295 The SELinux process type xguest_t can manage files labeled with the
296 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
297 file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

399 icy modules.
400
