NAME

6       gpg_helper_selinux  - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the gpg_helper
7       processes
8

DESCRIPTION

10       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the gpg_helper processes  via  flexible
11       mandatory access control.
12
13       The  gpg_helper  processes  execute with the gpg_helper_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 gpg_helper_t
20
21
22

ENTRYPOINTS

24       The  gpg_helper_t SELinux type can be entered via the gpg_helper_exec_t
25       file type.
26
27       The default entrypoint paths for the gpg_helper_t domain are  the  fol‐
28       lowing:
29
30       /usr/lib/gnupg/gpgkeys.*
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       gpg_helper  policy  is  very  flexible  allowing  users  to setup their
40       gpg_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42       The following process types are defined for gpg_helper:
43
44       gpg_helper_t
45
46       Note: semanage permissive -a gpg_helper_t  can  be  used  to  make  the
47       process  type  gpg_helper_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
48       permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux  denials)  messages  are
49       still generated.

51

BOOLEANS

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

MANAGED FILES

75       The SELinux process type gpg_helper_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

FILE CONTEXTS

95       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
96       type.
97
98       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
99
100       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these files.
101       SELinux gpg_helper policy is very  flexible  allowing  users  to  setup
102       their gpg_helper processes in as secure a method as possible.
103
104       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
105
106       SELinux  defines  the  file  context  types  for the gpg_helper, if you
107       wanted to store files with these types in a different paths,  you  need
108       to  execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then
109       use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
110
111       semanage  fcontext  -a   -t   gpg_helper_exec_t   '/srv/gpg_helper/con‐
112       tent(/.*)?'
113       restorecon -R -v /srv/mygpg_helper_content
114
115       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
116       match multiple files.
117
118       The following file types are defined for gpg_helper:
119
120
121
122       gpg_helper_exec_t
123
124       - Set files with the gpg_helper_exec_t type, if you want to  transition
125       an executable to the gpg_helper_t domain.
126
127
128
129       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
130       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
131       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
132       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
133
134

COMMANDS

136       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
137       mappings.
138
139       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
140       process type is permissive.
141
142       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
143       icy modules.
144
145       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
146
147
148       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
149       icy settings.
