NAME

6       load_policy_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the load_pol‐
7       icy processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the load_policy processes via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  load_policy processes execute with the load_policy_t SELinux type.
14       You can check if you have these processes running by executing  the  ps
15       command with the -Z qualifier.
16
17       For example:
18
19       ps -eZ | grep load_policy_t

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  load_policy_t  SELinux  type  can  be  entered  via  the load_pol‐
25       icy_exec_t file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the load_policy_t domain are the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /sbin/load_policy, /usr/sbin/load_policy
31

PROCESS TYPES

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

BOOLEANS

53       SELinux   policy  is  customizable  based  on  least  access  required.
54       load_policy policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that
55       allow  you to manipulate the policy and run load_policy with the tight‐
56       est access 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

MANAGED FILES

68       The  SELinux  process  type load_policy_t can manage files labeled with
69       the following file types.  The paths listed are the default  paths  for
70       these  file  types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
71       missions.

FILE CONTEXTS

78       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
79       type.
80
81       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
82
83       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
84       SELinux load_policy policy is very flexible  allowing  users  to  setup
85       their load_policy processes in as secure a method as possible.
86
87       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
88
89       SELinux  defines  the  file  context  types for the load_policy, if you
90       wanted to store files with these types in a different paths,  you  need
91       to  execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then
92       use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
93
94       semanage  fcontext  -a  -t  load_policy_exec_t   '/srv/load_policy/con‐
95       tent(/.*)?'
96       restorecon -R -v /srv/myload_policy_content
97
98       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
99       match multiple files.
100
101       The following file types are defined for load_policy:
102
103
104
105       load_policy_exec_t
106
107       - Set files with the load_policy_exec_t type, if you want to transition
108       an executable to the load_policy_t domain.
109
110
111       Paths:
112            /sbin/load_policy, /usr/sbin/load_policy
113
114
115       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
116       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
117       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
118       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

COMMANDS

122       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
123       mappings.
124
125       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
126       process type is permissive.
127
128       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
129       icy modules.
130
131       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
132
133
134       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
135       icy settings.
