thin_selinux(8) thin SELinux Policy documentation thin_selinux(8)NAMEthin_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the thin processes
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the thin processes via flexible manda‐
tory access control.
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 thin policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their thin
processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for thin:
thin_aeolus_configserver_exec_t
- Set files with the thin_aeolus_configserver_exec_t type, if you want
to transition an executable to the thin_aeolus_configserver_t domain.
thin_aeolus_configserver_lib_t
- Set files with the thin_aeolus_configserver_lib_t type, if you want
to treat the files as thin aeolus configserver lib data.
thin_aeolus_configserver_log_t
- Set files with the thin_aeolus_configserver_log_t type, if you want
to treat the data as thin aeolus configserver log data, usually stored
under the /var/log directory.
thin_aeolus_configserver_var_run_t
- Set files with the thin_aeolus_configserver_var_run_t type, if you
want to store the thin aeolus configserver files under the /run direc‐
tory.
thin_exec_t
- Set files with the thin_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the thin_t domain.
thin_log_t
- Set files with the thin_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
thin log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
thin_var_run_t
- Set files with the thin_var_run_t type, if you want to store the thin
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
thin policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their thin pro‐
cesses in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for thin:
thin_t, thin_aeolus_configserver_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.
