💅 freeipmi_ipmiseld_selinux(8) — the SELinux policy page for real

okay bestie, welcome to freeipmi_ipmiseld_selinux(8), aka the manual page for the SELinux Policy side of freeipmi_ipmiseld. buckle up, it's giving "mandatory access control but make it cute" ✨

🌸 NAME

freeipmi_ipmiseld_selinux — the Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the freeipmi_ipmiseld processes. that's the whole vibe, no cap.

🦋 DESCRIPTION

so, Security-Enhanced Linux secures the freeipmi_ipmiseld processes via flexible mandatory access control. literally the whole point 💅

your freeipmi_ipmiseld processes execute with the freeipmi_ipmiseld_t SELinux type. wanna check if you've got those processes running? just run the ps command with the -Z qualifier, easy.

for example:

ps -eZ | grep freeipmi_ipmiseld_t

go off, icon 👑

🎀 ENTRYPOINTS

the freeipmi_ipmiseld_t SELinux type can be entered via the freeipmi_ipmiseld_exec_t file type. that's the doorway, bestie 🚪✨

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

/usr/bin/ipmiseld

💖 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 freeipmi_ipmiseld policy is very flexible, allowing users to set up their freeipmi_ipmiseld processes in as secure a method as possible 🔒

the following process types are defined for freeipmi_ipmiseld:

freeipmi_ipmiseld_t
Note: semanage permissive -a freeipmi_ipmiseld_t can be used to make the process type freeipmi_ipmiseld_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. so like, it's chill about denying, but it's still gonna journal about it 🙈

⭐ BOOLEANS

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required — minimal vibes only. the freeipmi_ipmiseld policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run freeipmi_ipmiseld with the tightest access possible 🔥

  • 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

three booleans, zero gatekeeping 🫶

🧚 MANAGED FILES

the SELinux process type freeipmi_ipmiseld_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 doing all the work for you, bestie 😭

🍓 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 freeipmi_ipmiseld policy is very flexible, allowing users to set up their freeipmi_ipmiseld processes in as secure a method as possible. obsessed honestly 💜

👑 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

SELinux defines the file context types for freeipmi_ipmiseld. 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. look at you, customizing your paths 😌

semanage fcontext -a -t freeipmi_ipmiseld_exec_t
'/srv/freeipmi_ipmiseld/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myfreeipmi_ipmiseld_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 freeipmi_ipmiseld:

✨ freeipmi_ipmiseld_exec_t

  • set files with the freeipmi_ipmiseld_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the freeipmi_ipmiseld_t domain.

✨ freeipmi_ipmiseld_unit_file_t

  • set files with the freeipmi_ipmiseld_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the files as freeipmi ipmiseld unit content.

✨ freeipmi_ipmiseld_var_run_t

  • set files with the freeipmi_ipmiseld_var_run_t type, if you want to store the freeipmi ipmiseld 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 such a mood, don't skip the restorecon 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 girlies who love a clicky interface ✨
