6 ypserv_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ypserv pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ypserv processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The ypserv processes execute with the ypserv_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 ypserv_t
20
21
22
24 The ypserv_t SELinux type can be entered via the ypserv_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the ypserv_t domain are the following:
28
29 /usr/sbin/ypserv
30
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 ypserv policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ypserv
39 processes in as secure a method as possible.
40
41 The following process types are defined for ypserv:
42
43 ypserv_t
44
45 Note: semanage permissive -a ypserv_t can be used to make the process
46 type ypserv_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
47 process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
48 ated.
49
50
52 SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. ypserv
53 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
54 manipulate the policy and run ypserv with the tightest access possible.
55
56
57
58 If you want to dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched,
59 sys_nice), you must turn on the daemons_dontaudit_scheduling boolean.
60 Enabled by default.
61
62 setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 1
63
64
65
66 If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
67 on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
68
69 setsebool -P fips_mode 1
70
71
72
74 The SELinux process type ypserv_t can manage files labeled with the
75 following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
76 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 ypserv policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
134 ypserv processes in as secure a method as possible.
135
136 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
137
138 SELinux defines the file context types for the ypserv, 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 ypserv_exec_t '/srv/ypserv/content(/.*)?'
144 restorecon -R -v /srv/myypserv_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 ypserv:
150
151
152
153 ypserv_conf_t
154
155 - Set files with the ypserv_conf_t type, if you want to treat the files
156 as ypserv configuration data, usually stored under the /etc directory.
157
158
159
160 ypserv_exec_t
161
162 - Set files with the ypserv_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
163 executable to the ypserv_t domain.
164
165
166
167 ypserv_tmp_t
168
169 - Set files with the ypserv_tmp_t type, if you want to store ypserv
170 temporary files in the /tmp directories.
171
172
173
174 ypserv_var_run_t
175
176 - Set files with the ypserv_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
177 ypserv files under the /run or /var/run directory.
178
179
180
181 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
182 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
183 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
184 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
185
186
188 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
189 mappings.
190
191 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
192 process type is permissive.
193
194 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
195 icy modules.
196
197 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
198
199
200 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
201 icy settings.
