lpd_selinux(8) SELinux Policy lpd lpd_selinux(8)NAMElpd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the lpd processes
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the lpd processes via flexible manda‐
tory access control.
The lpd processes execute with the lpd_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 lpd_t
ENTRYPOINTS
The lpd_t SELinux type can be entered via the lpd_exec_t file type.
The default entrypoint paths for the lpd_t domain are the following:
/usr/sbin/lpd
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
lpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their lpd processes
in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for lpd:
lpd_t
Note: semanage permissive -a lpd_t can be used to make the process type
lpd_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. lpd
policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
manipulate the policy and run lpd with the tightest access possible.
If you want to allow all daemons to write corefiles to /, you must turn
on the daemons_dump_core boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_dump_core 1
If you want to enable cluster mode for daemons, you must turn on the
daemons_enable_cluster_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_enable_cluster_mode 1
If you want to allow all daemons to use tcp wrappers, you must turn on
the daemons_use_tcp_wrapper boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_use_tcp_wrapper 1
If you want to allow all daemons the ability to read/write terminals,
you must turn on the daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_use_tty 1
If you want to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
processes, you must turn on the deny_ptrace boolean. Enabled by
default.
setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1
If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1
If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
must turn on the domain_kernel_load_modules boolean. Disabled by
default.
setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1
If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P fips_mode 1
If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P global_ssp 1
If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
MANAGED FILES
The SELinux process type lpd_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
lowing file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these
file types. Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

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 lpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their lpd
processes in as secure a method as possible.
STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
SELinux defines the file context types for the lpd, 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 lpd_exec_t '/srv/lpd/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mylpd_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that
match multiple files.
The following file types are defined for lpd:
lpd_exec_t
- Set files with the lpd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an exe‐
cutable to the lpd_t domain.
lpd_tmp_t
- Set files with the lpd_tmp_t type, if you want to store lpd temporary
files in the /tmp directories.
lpd_var_run_t
- Set files with the lpd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the lpd
files under the /run or /var/run directory.
Paths:
/var/run/lprng(/.*)?, /var/spool/turboprint(/.*)?
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.
