7 cesses
8
10 Security-Enhanced Linux secures the sysstat processes via flexible
11 mandatory access control.
12
13 The sysstat processes execute with the sysstat_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 sysstat_t
20
21
22
24 The sysstat_t SELinux type can be entered via the sysstat_exec_t file
25 type.
26
27 The default entrypoint paths for the sysstat_t domain are the follow‐
28 ing:
29
30 /usr/lib/sa/sa.*, /usr/lib/atsar/atsa.*, /usr/lib/sysstat/sa.*
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 sysstat policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their sysstat
40 processes in as secure a method as possible.
41
42 The following process types are defined for sysstat:
43
44 sysstat_t
45
46 Note: semanage permissive -a sysstat_t can be used to make the process
47 type sysstat_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. sysstat
54 policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
55 manipulate the policy and run sysstat 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 sysstat_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.

102 SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
103 type.
104
105 You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
106
107 Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
108 SELinux sysstat policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
109 sysstat processes in as secure a method as possible.
110
111 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
112
113 SELinux defines the file context types for the sysstat, if you wanted
114 to store files with these types in a different paths, you need to exe‐
115 cute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use
116 restorecon to put the labels on disk.
117
118 semanage fcontext -a -t sysstat_exec_t '/srv/sysstat/content(/.*)?'
119 restorecon -R -v /srv/mysysstat_content
120
121 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
122 match multiple files.
123
124 The following file types are defined for sysstat:
125
126
127
128 sysstat_exec_t
129
130 - Set files with the sysstat_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
131 executable to the sysstat_t domain.
132
133
134 Paths:
135 /usr/lib/sa/sa.*, /usr/lib/atsar/atsa.*, /usr/lib/sysstat/sa.*
136
137
138 sysstat_initrc_exec_t
139
140 - Set files with the sysstat_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
141 tion an executable to the sysstat_initrc_t domain.
142
143
144
145 sysstat_log_t
146
147 - Set files with the sysstat_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
148 as sysstat log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
149
150
151 Paths:
152 /var/log/sa(/.*)?, /opt/sartest(/.*)?, /var/log/atsar(/.*)?,
153 /var/log/sysstat(/.*)?
154
155
156 Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
157 If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
158 semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
159 base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
160
161
163 semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
164 mappings.
165
166 semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
167 process type is permissive.
168
169 semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
170 icy modules.
171
172 semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
173
174
175 system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
176 icy settings.
