🌸 abrt_watch_log_selinux — bestie edition ✨

okay so this is the abrt_watch_log_selinux(8) manual page, and it's literally all about the SELinux policy for the abrt_watch_log processes. welcome to the group chat, grab a snack 🍓

---

💅 NAME

abrt_watch_log_selinux — the Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the abrt_watch_log processes, no cap.

---

✨ DESCRIPTION

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the abrt_watch_log processes via flexible mandatory access control. she's got rules, and honestly? iconic. 👑

The abrt_watch_log processes execute with the abrt_watch_log_t SELinux type. wanna check if you've got these processes running? just run the ps command with the -Z qualifier. easy.

for example:

ps -eZ | grep abrt_watch_log_t

---

🦋 ENTRYPOINTS

The abrt_watch_log_t SELinux type can be entered via the abrt_watch_log_exec_t file type. that's the doorway, bestie 🚪✨

the default entrypoint paths for the abrt_watch_log_t domain are literally these:

/usr/bin/abrt-watch-log

---

🎀 PROCESS TYPES

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. yes, every single one gets its own little label. main character energy for everyone.

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

policy governs the access confined processes have to files. the SELinux abrt_watch_log policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their abrt_watch_log processes in as secure a method as possible. tight, tidy, slay.

the following process types are defined for abrt_watch_log:

abrt_watch_log_t

Note: semanage permissive -a abrt_watch_log_t can be used to make the process type abrt_watch_log_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. so like, she stops saying no, but she definitely still writes it down in her notes 📝💀

---

🔥 BOOLEANS

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. the abrt_watch_log policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run abrt_watch_log with the tightest access possible. little switches for the vibes ✨

• if you want to dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched, sys_nice), you must turn on the daemons_dontaudit_scheduling boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 1

• if you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P fips_mode 1

• if you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

🌈 MANAGED FILES

The SELinux process type abrt_watch_log_t can manage files labeled with the following file types. the paths listed are the default paths for these file types. note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions — SELinux isn't gonna do everything for you, bestie 🫶

⭐ FILE CONTEXTS

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. yes, files have little name tags too. we love a labeling moment 🏷️💖

you can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls.

policy governs the access confined processes have to these files. the SELinux abrt_watch_log policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their abrt_watch_log processes in as secure a method as possible.

🧚 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

SELinux defines the file context types for the abrt_watch_log. 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.

semanage fcontext -a -t abrt_watch_log_exec_t
'/srv/abrt_watch_log/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myabrt_watch_log_content

Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. regex girlies stay winning 😌✨

the following file types are defined for abrt_watch_log:

abrt_watch_log_exec_t

• Set files with the abrt_watch_log_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the abrt_watch_log_t domain.

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 fr fr 💅

---

🫶 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 visual learners 👑
