local_login_selinux(8) SELinux Policy local_login local_login_selinux(8)NAMElocal_login_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
local_login processes
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the local_login processes via flexible
mandatory access control.
The local_login processes execute with the local_login_t SELinux type.
You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps
command with the -Z qualifier.
For example:
ps -eZ | grep local_login_t
ENTRYPOINTS
The local_login_t SELinux type can be entered via the login_exec_t file
type.
The default entrypoint paths for the local_login_t domain are the fol‐
lowing:
/bin/login, /usr/bin/login, /usr/kerberos/sbin/login.krb5
PROCESS TYPES
SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
system
You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
local_login policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
local_login processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for local_login:
local_login_t
Note: semanage permissive -a local_login_t can be used to make the
process type local_login_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to
permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are
still generated.
BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.
local_login policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
allow you to manipulate the policy and run local_login with the tight‐
est access possible.
If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1

turn on the authlogin_radius boolean. Disabled by default.

use_fusefs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P use_fusefs_home_dirs 1
If you want to support NFS home directories, you must turn on the
use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1
If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the
use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1
NSSWITCH DOMAIN
If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
ldap rather then using a sssd server for the local_login_t, you must
turn on the authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean.
setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos for the
local_login_t, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean.
setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1

these file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC per‐
missions.

FILE CONTEXTS
SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
type.
You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
SELinux local_login policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
their local_login processes in as secure a method as possible.
STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
SELinux defines the file context types for the local_login, if you
wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to
execute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then
use restorecon to put the labels on disk.
semanage fcontext -a -t local_login_home_t '/srv/local_login/con‐
tent(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mylocal_login_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
match multiple files.
The following file types are defined for local_login:
local_login_home_t
- Set files with the local_login_home_t type, if you want to store
local login files in the users home directory.
Paths:
/root/.hushlogin, /home/[^/]*/.hushlogin
local_login_lock_t
- Set files with the local_login_lock_t type, if you want to treat the
files as local login lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use the
semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
COMMANDS
semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
mappings.
semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
process type is permissive.
semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
icy modules.
semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
icy settings.
