NAME

6       lircd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the lircd processes
7

DESCRIPTION

9       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the lircd processes via flexible manda‐
10       tory access control.
11
12       The lircd processes execute with the  lircd_t  SELinux  type.  You  can
13       check  if  you have these processes running by executing the ps command
14       with the -Z qualifier.
15
16       For example:
17
18       ps -eZ | grep lircd_t
19
20
21

ENTRYPOINTS

23       The lircd_t SELinux type can be entered via the lircd_exec_t file type.
24
25       The default entrypoint paths for the lircd_t domain are the following:
26
27       /usr/sbin/lircd
28

PROCESS TYPES

30       SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
31       system
32
33       You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
34
35       Policy  governs  the  access confined processes have to files.  SELinux
36       lircd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their lircd  pro‐
37       cesses in as secure a method as possible.
38
39       The following process types are defined for lircd:
40
41       lircd_t
42
43       Note:  semanage  permissive  -a lircd_t can be used to make the process
44       type lircd_t permissive. SELinux does not  deny  access  to  permissive
45       process  types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still gener‐
46       ated.
47
48

BOOLEANS

50       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access  required.   lircd
51       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
52       manipulate the policy and run lircd with the tightest access possible.
53
54
55
56       If you want to dontaudit all  daemons  scheduling  requests  (setsched,
57       sys_nice),  you  must turn on the daemons_dontaudit_scheduling boolean.
58       Enabled by default.
59
60       setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 1
61
62
63
64       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
65       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
66
67       setsebool -P fips_mode 1
68
69
70
71       If  you  want  to  allow  system  to run with NIS, you must turn on the
72       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
73
74       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
75
76
77

PORT TYPES

79       SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
80
81       You can see the types associated with a port  by  using  the  following
82       command:
83
84       semanage port -l
85
86
87       Policy  governs  the  access  confined  processes  have to these ports.
88       SELinux lircd policy is very flexible allowing  users  to  setup  their
89       lircd processes in as secure a method as possible.
90
91       The following port types are defined for lircd:
92
93
94       lirc_port_t
95
96
97
98       Default Defined Ports:
99                 tcp 8765
100

MANAGED FILES

102       The SELinux process type lircd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
103       lowing file types.  The paths listed are the default  paths  for  these
104       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

FILE CONTEXTS

169       SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
170       type.
171
172       You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
173
174       Policy governs the access  confined  processes  have  to  these  files.
175       SELinux  lircd  policy  is  very flexible allowing users to setup their
176       lircd processes in as secure a method as possible.
177
178       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
179
180
181       lircd policy stores data with multiple different file context types un‐
182       der  the  /var/run/lirc directory.  If you would like to store the data
183       in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create  an
184       equivalence  mapping.   If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
185       directory you would execute the following command:
186
187       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/run/lirc /srv/lirc
188       restorecon -R -v /srv/lirc
189
190       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
191
192       SELinux defines the file context types for the lircd, if you wanted  to
193       store  files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute
194       the semanage command to specify alternate labeling  and  then  use  re‐
195       storecon to put the labels on disk.
196
197       semanage fcontext -a -t lircd_exec_t '/srv/lircd/content(/.*)?'
198       restorecon -R -v /srv/mylircd_content
199
200       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
201       match multiple files.
202
203       The following file types are defined for lircd:
204
205
206
207       lircd_etc_t
208
209       - Set files with the lircd_etc_t type, if you want to store lircd files
210       in the /etc directories.
211
212
213       Paths:
214            /etc/lirc(/.*)?, /etc/lircd.conf
215
216
217       lircd_exec_t
218
219       -  Set  files  with the lircd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
220       executable to the lircd_t domain.
221
222
223
224       lircd_initrc_exec_t
225
226       - Set files with the lircd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want  to  transi‐
227       tion an executable to the lircd_initrc_t domain.
228
229
230
231       lircd_var_run_t
232
233       -  Set  files  with  the lircd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
234       lircd files under the /run or /var/run directory.
235
236
237       Paths:
238            /var/run/lirc(/.*)?,       /var/run/lircd(/.*)?,       /dev/lircd,
239            /var/run/lircd.pid
240
241
242       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
243       If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use  the
244       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
245       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
246
247

COMMANDS

249       semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default  file  context
250       mappings.
251
252       semanage  permissive  can  also  be used to manipulate whether or not a
253       process type is permissive.
254
255       semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove  pol‐
256       icy modules.
257
258       semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
259
260       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
261
262
263       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
264       icy settings.
