✨ NAME ✨

httpd_rotatelogs_selinux — Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the httpd_rotatelogs processes

Okay so bestie, you're looking at the manual page for httpd_ro..._selinux(8), and honestly? It's giving "SELinux but make it specific to httpd_rotatelogs." Slay. 💅

---

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the httpd_rotatelogs processes via flexible mandatory access control. No cap, that's the whole vibe.

The httpd_rotatelogs processes execute with the httpd_rotatelogs_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier.

For example:

ps -eZ | grep httpd_rotatelogs_t

That's it. That's the check. Lowkey iconic. 🎀

---

🦋 ENTRYPOINTS 🦋

The httpd_rotatelogs_t SELinux type can be entered via the httpd_rotatelogs_exec_t file type.

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

/usr/bin/rotatelogs

Periodt. That's the one path. Main character energy for real. ✨

---

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

The following process types are defined for httpd_rotatelogs:

httpd_rotatelogs_t

🚨 Note: semanage permissive -a httpd_rotatelogs_t can be used to make the process type httpd_rotatelogs_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. So it's not a free-for-all, okay? 💀

---

🍓 BOOLEANS 🍓

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. httpd_rotatelogs policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run httpd_rotatelogs 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

Two booleans, both on by default. We love a low-maintenance queen. 🌸

🧚 MANAGED FILES 🧚

The SELinux process type httpd_rotatelogs_t can manage files labeled with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these file types. Note: the process's UID still needs to have DAC permissions. Can't skip the basics, bestie.

cluster_conf_t

/etc/cluster(/.*)?

cluster_var_lib_t

root_t

Yes, that's the literal root directory / in there. No cap. 💀

🌟 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. SELinux httpd_rotatelogs policy is very flexible, allowing users to set up their httpd_rotatelogs processes in as secure a method as possible.

STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

SELinux defines the file context types for the httpd_rotatelogs. 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 httpd_rotatelogs_exec_t '/srv/httpd_rotatelogs/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myhttpd_rotatelogs_content

💡 Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. So those (/.*)? bits? They're doing the Lord's work. 🙏

The following file types are defined for httpd_rotatelogs:

httpd_rotatelogs_exec_t

• Set files with the httpd_rotatelogs_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the httpd_rotatelogs_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. Don't skip the restorecon step, bestie. It's not optional. 😭

---

🔥 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. For the girlies who prefer a visual moment. 🎨
