💅 NAME 💅

Okay so bestie, this is the manual page for NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient_selinux — it's the Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient processes. Yeah, it's a long name, we're gonna be saying it a lot, hydrate first. 🍓

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient processes via flexible mandatory access control. That's the whole vibe — SELinux is the bouncer, and these processes are on the list.

The NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient processes execute with the NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient_t SELinux type. Wanna check if you've got these processes running? Run the ps command with the -Z qualifier, like this:

ps -eZ | grep NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient_t

No cap, that's the whole check. 👑

---

🚪 ENTRYPOINTS 🚪

So the NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient_t SELinux type can be entered via the NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient_script_t file type. That's the door, that's the entry, that's how you get in.

The default entrypoint paths for the NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient_t domain are literally these:

• /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/11-dhclient
• /usr/lib/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/11-dhclient

---

🫶 PROCESS TYPES 🫶

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. Every process, its own little domain, main character energy fr.

You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps.

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient processes in as secure a method as possible. Locked down and gorgeous. 💖

The following process types are defined for NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient:

• NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient_t

Note: semanage permissive -a NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient_t can be used to make the process type NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. So like, it's not mad, but it's still texting about it. 😭

---

🎀 BOOLEANS 🎀

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required — minimal, tasteful, iconic. NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient with the tightest access possible.

If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default, bestie, it's already on:

setsebool -P fips_mode 1

---

🦋 FILE CONTEXTS 🦋

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. Yes, the files have ✨labels✨.

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 NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient processes in as secure a method as possible. Same energy, different noun.

🌸 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT 🌸

SELinux defines the file context types for the NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient, so if you wanted to store files with these types in a different paths, you need to execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling and then use restorecon to put the labels on disk. Relabeling arc, we love to see it:

semanage fcontext -a -t NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient_script_t '/srv/NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myNetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient_content

Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. Regex girlies rise. 🧚

The following file types are defined for NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient:

NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient_script_t

• Set files with the NetworkManager_dispatcher_dhclient_script_t type if you want to treat the files as NetworkManager dispatcher dhclient script data.

Paths:

• /etc/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/11-dhclient
• /usr/lib/NetworkManager/dispatcher.d/11-dhclient

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 database. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels. Temporary vs permanent, know the difference bestie, it's giving foreshadowing 💀

---

🔥 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 policy modules.
• semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans.
• system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings. A whole GUI, for the girlies who like a button. 🎀
