setroubleshoot_selsetroubleshoot SELinux Policy documsetroubleshoot_selinux(8)NAMEsetroubleshoot_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the setrou‐
bleshoot processes
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the setroubleshoot processes via flexi‐
ble mandatory access control.
NSSWITCH DOMAIN
If you want to allow users to login using a sssd serve for the setrou‐
bleshootd_t, setroubleshoot_fixit_t, you must turn on the authlo‐
gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean.
setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos for the
setroubleshootd_t, setroubleshoot_fixit_t, you must turn on the
allow_kerberos boolean.
setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1
If you want to allow system to run with NI for the setroubleshootd_t,
setroubleshoot_fixit_t, you must turn on the allow_ypbind boolean.
setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1
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 setroubleshoot policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
their setroubleshoot processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for setroubleshoot:
setroubleshoot_fixit_exec_t
- Set files with the setroubleshoot_fixit_exec_t type, if you want to
transition an executable to the setroubleshoot_fixit_t domain.
setroubleshoot_var_lib_t
- Set files with the setroubleshoot_var_lib_t type, if you want to
store the setroubleshoot files under the /var/lib directory.
setroubleshoot_var_log_t
- Set files with the setroubleshoot_var_log_t type, if you want to
treat the data as setroubleshoot var log data, usually stored under the
/var/log directory.
setroubleshoot_var_run_t
- Set files with the setroubleshoot_var_run_t type, if you want to
store the setroubleshoot files under the /run directory.
setroubleshootd_exec_t
- Set files with the setroubleshootd_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
sition an executable to the setroubleshootd_t domain.
Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
If you want to permanantly 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.
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
setroubleshoot policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
setroubleshoot processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for setroubleshoot:
setroubleshoot_fixit_t, setroubleshootd_t
Note: semanage permissive -a PROCESS_TYPE can be used to make a process
type permissive. Permissive process types are not denied access by
SELinux. AVC messages will still be generated.
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.
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
icy settings.
