💅 oddjob_m..._selinux(8) — SELinux Policy for oddjob_mkhomedir 🎀

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for oddjob_mkhomedir_selinux — literally the Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the oddjob_mkhomedir processes. no cap, it’s giving mandatory access control with main character energy. ✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

oddjob_mkhomedir_selinux — Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the oddjob_mkhomedir processes. 💖

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the oddjob_mkhomedir processes via flexible mandatory access control. flexible but very much in charge, iykyk.

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

For example:

ps -eZ | grep oddjob_mkhomedir_t

🦋 ENTRYPOINTS 🦋

The oddjob_mkhomedir_t SELinux type can be entered via the oddjob_mkhomedir_exec_t file type. slay.

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

/usr/bin/mkhomedir_helper, /usr/lib/oddjob/mkhomedir, /usr/libexec/oddjob/mkhomedir

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

The following process types are defined for oddjob_mkhomedir:

• oddjob_mkhomedir_t

Note: semanage permissive -a oddjob_mkhomedir_t can be used to make the process type oddjob_mkhomedir_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. oddjob_mkhomedir policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run oddjob_mkhomedir with the tightest access possible.

• fips_mode — 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

• nis_enabled — 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 oddjob_mkhomedir_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.

• cifs_t
• ecryptfs_t

/home/[^/]+/.Private(/.*)?
/home/[^/]+/.ecryptfs(/.*)?

• fusefs_t

/run/user/[0-9]+/gvfs

• 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

• nfs_t
• security_t

/selinux

• user_home_type

all user home files

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

🎀 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT 🎀

SELinux defines the file context types for the oddjob_mkhomedir, 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 oddjob_mkhomedir_exec_t '/srv/oddjob_mkhomedir/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myoddjob_mkhomedir_content

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

The following file types are defined for oddjob_mkhomedir:

🦋 oddjob_mkhomedir_exec_t 🦋

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

Paths:

/usr/bin/mkhomedir_helper, /usr/lib/oddjob/mkhomedir, /usr/libexec/oddjob/mkhomedir

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.
