6 chronyc_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the chronyc pro‐
7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the chronyc processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The chronyc processes execute with the chronyc_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 chronyc_t
20
21
22
24 The chronyc_t SELinux type can be entered via the chronyc_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the chronyc_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/bin/chronyc
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 chronyc policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their chronyc
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for chronyc:
43
44 chronyc_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a chronyc_t can be used to make the process
47 type chronyc_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. chronyc
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run chronyc with the tightest access possi‐
56 ble.
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 chronyc_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.
78
79 krb5_host_rcache_t
80
81 /var/tmp/krb5_0.rcache2
82 /var/cache/krb5rcache(/.*)?
83 /var/tmp/nfs_0
84 /var/tmp/DNS_25
85 /var/tmp/host_0
86 /var/tmp/imap_0
87 /var/tmp/HTTP_23
88 /var/tmp/HTTP_48
89 /var/tmp/ldap_55
90 /var/tmp/ldap_487
91 /var/tmp/ldapmap1_0

96
98 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
99 type.
100
101 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
102
103 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
104 SELinux chronyc policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
105 chronyc processes in as secure a method as possible.
106
107 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
108
109 SELinux defines the file context types for the chronyc, if you wanted
110 to store files with these types in a different paths, you need to exe‐
111 cute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use
112 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
113
114 semanage fcontext -a -t chronyc_exec_t '/srv/chronyc/content(/.*)?'
115 restorecon -R -v /srv/mychronyc_content
116
117 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
118 match multiple files.
119
120 The following file types are defined for chronyc:
121
122
123
124 chronyc_exec_t
125
126 - Set files with the chronyc_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
127 executable to the chronyc_t domain.
128
129
130
131 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
132 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
133 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
134 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
135
136
138 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
139 mappings.
140
141 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
142 process type is permissive.
143
144 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
145 icy modules.
146
147 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
148
149
150 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
151 icy settings.
