cfengine..._selinux(8)

🌸 NAME 🌸

okay bestie, welcome to cfengine..._selinux(8) — the manual for the SELinux Policy cfengine_serverd page. The star of the show is cfengine_serverd_selinux, aka Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the cfengine_serverd processes. 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the cfengine_serverd processes via flexible mandatory access control. No cap, it’s giving locked-down-but-configurable.

The cfengine_serverd processes execute with the cfengine_serverd_t SELinux type. Wanna check if you have these processes running? Execute the ps command with the -Z qualifier. For example:

ps -eZ | grep cfengine_serverd_t

🚪 ENTRYPOINTS 🚪

The cfengine_serverd_t SELinux type can be entered via the cfengine_serverd_exec_t file type.

The default entrypoint paths for the cfengine_serverd_t domain are the following:

/usr/bin/cf-serverd

👑 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. The SELinux cfengine_serverd policy is very flexible, allowing users to set up their cfengine_serverd processes in as secure a method as possible. 🫶

The following process types are defined for cfengine_serverd:

• cfengine_serverd_t

Note: semanage permissive -a cfengine_serverd_t can be used to make the process type cfengine_serverd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.

🎚️ BOOLEANS 🎚️

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. The cfengine_serverd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run cfengine_serverd with the tightest access possible. Obsessed. 💖

• daemons_dontaudit_scheduling — if you want to dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched, sys_nice), you must turn on this boolean. Enabled by default. Run setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 1.
• fips_mode — if you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on this boolean. Enabled by default. Run setsebool -P fips_mode 1.
• nis_enabled — if you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on this boolean. Disabled by default. Run setsebool -P nis_enabled 1.

📁 MANAGED FILES 📁

The SELinux process type cfengine_serverd_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. 🔥

• cfengine_var_lib_t

/var/cfengine(/.*)?

🏷️ 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. The SELinux cfengine_serverd policy is very flexible, allowing users to set up their cfengine_serverd processes in as secure a method as possible. ✨

🎀 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT 🎀

SELinux defines the file context types for cfengine_serverd. If you wanted to store files with these types in 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 cfengine_serverd_exec_t
'/srv/cfengine_serverd/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mycfengine_serverd_content

Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files.

The following file types are defined for cfengine_serverd:

• cfengine_serverd_exec_t — set files with the cfengine_serverd_exec_t type if you want to transition an executable to the cfengine_serverd_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.

🛠️ 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.
