telepathy_selinux(8)telepathy SELinux Policy documentationtelepathy_selinux(8)NAMEtelepathy_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the telepathy
processes
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the telepathy processes via flexible
mandatory access control.
BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. telepa‐
thy policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
you to manipulate the policy and run telepathy with the tightest access
possible.
If you want to allow the Telepathy connection managers to connect to
any generic TCP port, you must turn on the telepathy_tcp_con‐
nect_generic_network_ports boolean.
setsebool -P telepathy_tcp_connect_generic_network_ports 1
If you want to allow the Telepathy connection managers to connect to
any network port, you must turn on the telepathy_connect_all_ports
boolean.
setsebool -P telepathy_connect_all_ports 1
NSSWITCH DOMAIN
If you want to allow users to login using a sssd serve for the telepa‐
thy_mission_control_t, telepathy_logger_t, telepathy_salut_t, telepa‐
thy_gabble_t, telepathy_idle_t, telepathy_sunshine_t, telepa‐
thy_stream_engine_t, telepathy_sofiasip_t, telepathy_msn_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
telepathy_mission_control_t, telepathy_logger_t, telepathy_salut_t,
telepathy_gabble_t, telepathy_idle_t, telepathy_sunshine_t, telepa‐
thy_stream_engine_t, telepathy_sofiasip_t, telepathy_msn_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 telepathy_mis‐
sion_control_t, telepathy_logger_t, telepathy_salut_t, telepathy_gab‐
ble_t, telepathy_idle_t, telepathy_sunshine_t, telepa‐
thy_stream_engine_t, telepathy_sofiasip_t, telepathy_msn_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 telepathy policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
telepathy processes in as secure a method as possible.

ries.
telepathy_msn_exec_t

tion an executable to the telepathy_msn_t domain.
Paths:
/usr/libexec/telepathy-butterfly, /usr/libexec/telepathy-haze
telepathy_msn_tmp_t

store telepathy sunshine files in the users home directory.
telepathy_sunshine_tmp_t
- Set files with the telepathy_sunshine_tmp_t type, if you want to
store telepathy sunshine temporary files in the /tmp directories.
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
telepathy policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their telepa‐
thy processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for telepathy:
telepathy_gabble_t, telepathy_sofiasip_t, telepathy_idle_t, telepathy_mission_control_t, telepathy_salut_t, telepathy_sunshine_t, telepathy_logger_t, telepathy_stream_engine_t, telepathy_msn_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.
semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
icy settings.
