dbskkd_selinux(8)

bestie, you've opened dbskkd_selinux(8) — the SELinux Policy dbskkd page — and it's literally all about the dbskkd processes. no cap, this is the group chat where SELinux explains itself. 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

dbskkd_selinux — Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the dbskkd processes. that's the whole name, periodt. ✨

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the dbskkd processes via flexible mandatory access control. it's giving security but make it flexible. 💖

The dbskkd processes execute with the dbskkd_t SELinux type. you can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier. iykyk.

for example:

ps -eZ | grep dbskkd_t

🚪 ENTRYPOINTS 🚪

The dbskkd_t SELinux type can be entered via the dbskkd_exec_t file type. that's the doorway, bestie. 🚪

the default entrypoint paths for the dbskkd_t domain are the following:

/usr/bin/dbskkd-cdb

👑 PROCESS TYPES 👑

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. yes, every process gets a little domain label. 👑

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

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

the following process types are defined for dbskkd:

• dbskkd_t

Note: semanage permissive -a dbskkd_t can be used to make the process type dbskkd_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 a free pass from logs, bestie. 😭

🎚️ BOOLEANS 🎚️

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. dbskkd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run dbskkd with the tightest access possible. tightest access is the vibe. 🔥

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

🔌 PORT TYPES 🔌

SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports. cute little labels for ports, basically. 🔌

you can see the types associated with a port by using the following command:

semanage port -l

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

the following port types are defined for dbskkd:

• dbskkd_port_t

Default Defined Ports:

tcp 1178

📁 MANAGED FILES 📁

The SELinux process type dbskkd_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. yes, SELinux doesn't override DAC, bestie — both have to be cool with it. 🫶

• dbskkd_tmp_t
• dbskkd_var_run_t
• krb5_host_rcache_t

default paths for krb5_host_rcache_t:

/var/tmp/krb5_0.rcache2
/var/cache/krb5rcache(/.*)?
/var/tmp/nfs_0
/var/tmp/DNS_25
/var/tmp/host_0
/var/tmp/imap_0
/var/tmp/HTTP_23
/var/tmp/HTTP_48
/var/tmp/ldap_55
/var/tmp/ldap_487
/var/tmp/ldapmap1_0

🏷️ FILE CONTEXTS 🏷️

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. it's giving metadata but make it mandatory. 🏷️

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 dbskkd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their dbskkd processes in as secure a method as possible.

🎀 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT 🎀

SELinux defines the file context types for the dbskkd, 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. so like: relabel era. 🎀

semanage fcontext -a -t dbskkd_exec_t '/srv/dbskkd/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mydbskkd_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 dbskkd:

• dbskkd_exec_t — Set files with the dbskkd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the dbskkd_t domain.
• dbskkd_tmp_t — Set files with the dbskkd_tmp_t type, if you want to store dbskkd temporary files in the /tmp directories.
• dbskkd_var_run_t — Set files with the dbskkd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the dbskkd files under the /run or /var/run directory.

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 is a whole thing, bestie. 💀

🛠️ 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 port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions.
• semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans.
• system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
