ypbind_selinux(8) ypbind SELinux Policy documentation ypbind_selinux(8)NAMEypbind_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ypbind pro‐
cesses
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ypbind processes via flexible
mandatory access control.
BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. ypbind
policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
manipulate the policy and run ypbind with the tightest access possible.
If you want to allow system to run with NI, you must turn on the
allow_ypbind boolean.
setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1
NSSWITCH DOMAINFILE 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 ypbind policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
ypbind processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for ypbind:
ypbind_exec_t
- Set files with the ypbind_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the ypbind_t domain.
Paths:
/usr/sbin/ypbind, /sbin/ypbind
ypbind_initrc_exec_t
- Set files with the ypbind_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
tion an executable to the ypbind_initrc_t domain.
ypbind_unit_file_t
- Set files with the ypbind_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
files as ypbind unit content.
ypbind_var_run_t
- Set files with the ypbind_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
ypbind files under the /run directory.
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
ypbind policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ypbind
processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for ypbind:
ypbind_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.
