💖 pegasus_selinux(8) — the pegasus SELinux tea, served fresh 💖

okay so bestie, you found the manual page for pegasus_selinux — that's the Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pegasus processes. yes, the whole page. grab a strawberry drink 🍓, we're going in.

✨ NAME ✨

pegasus_selinux — Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pegasus processes 🦋

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the pegasus processes via flexible mandatory access control. that's the whole vibe — SELinux is the bouncer at the club and it does not let just anybody in.

The pegasus processes execute with the pegasus_t SELinux type. wanna check if you've got these processes running? run the ps command with the -Z qualifier. literally that simple, no cap.

For example:

ps -eZ | grep pegasus_t

🚪 ENTRYPOINTS 🚪

so the pegasus_t SELinux type can be entered via the pegasus_exec_t file type. that's the door. that's the only door. 💅

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

/usr/bin/cimserver, /usr/bin/init_repository

👑 PROCESS TYPES 👑

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. every process gets its own little identity, iconic honestly.

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

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux pegasus policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their pegasus processes in as secure a method as possible. flexible and secure? we love a multihyphenate. 🔥

The following process types are defined for pegasus:

pegasus_t, pegasus_openlmi_admin_t, pegasus_openlmi_account_t, pegasus_openlmi_logicalfile_t, pegasus_openlmi_services_t, pegasus_openlmi_storage_t, pegasus_openlmi_system_t, pegasus_openlmi_unconfined_t
Note: semanage permissive -a pegasus_t can be used to make the process type pegasus_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. so like, it stops blocking but it's still gonna talk about it — very main character energy 💀

🎀 BOOLEANS 🎀

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. pegasus policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run pegasus with the tightest access possible. tightest access possible = the it-girl of security settings. 🧚

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

🔌 PORT TYPES 🔌

SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports. yes, ports have types too. everyone here has a type. 🫶

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

The following port types are defined for pegasus:

pegasus_http_port_t

Default Defined Ports:

tcp 5988

pegasus_https_port_t

Default Defined Ports:

tcp 5989

📁 MANAGED FILES 📁

The SELinux process type pegasus_t can manage files labeled with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these file types. and bestie, remember: the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions. SELinux isn't out here overriding DAC, it's a whole separate layer. 🙈

🗂️ FILE CONTEXTS 🗂️

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. yes, the file is wearing a little name tag. adorable, essential. 🎀

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

✨ STANDARD FILE CONTEXT ✨

SELinux defines the file context types for the pegasus. 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. like this:

semanage fcontext -a -t pegasus_exec_t '/srv/pegasus/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mypegasus_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. regex girlies rise 🌈

The following file types are defined for pegasus:

pegasus_cache_t

  • Set files with the pegasus_cache_t type, if you want to store the files under the /var/cache directory.

pegasus_conf_t

  • Set files with the pegasus_conf_t type, if you want to treat the files as pegasus configuration data, usually stored under the /etc directory.

pegasus_data_t

  • Set files with the pegasus_data_t type, if you want to treat the files as pegasus content.

Paths:

/var/lib/Pegasus(/.*)?, /etc/Pegasus/pegasus_current.conf, /etc/Pegasus/cimserver_current.conf

pegasus_exec_t

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

Paths:

/usr/bin/cimserver, /usr/bin/init_repository

pegasus_mof_t

  • Set files with the pegasus_mof_t type, if you want to treat the files as pegasus mof data.

pegasus_openlmi_account_exec_t

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

pegasus_openlmi_admin_exec_t

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

Paths:

/usr/libexec/pegasus/cmpiLMI_Service-cimprovagt, /usr/libexec/pegasus/cmpiLMI_Journald-cimprovagt

pegasus_openlmi_logicalfile_exec_t

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

pegasus_openlmi_storage_lib_t

  • Set files with the pegasus_openlmi_storage_lib_t type, if you want to treat the files as pegasus openlmi storage lib data.

pegasus_openlmi_storage_tmp_t

  • Set files with the pegasus_openlmi_storage_tmp_t type, if you want to store pegasus openlmi storage temporary files in the /tmp directories.

pegasus_openlmi_storage_var_run_t

  • Set files with the pegasus_openlmi_storage_var_run_t type, if you want to store the pegasus openlmi storage files under the /run or /var/run directory.

pegasus_openlmi_system_exec_t

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

Paths:

pegasus_openlmi_unconfined_exec_t

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

pegasus_tmp_t

  • Set files with the pegasus_tmp_t type, if you want to store pegasus temporary files in the /tmp directories.

pegasus_var_run_t

  • Set files with the pegasus_var_run_t type, if you want to store the pegasus 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, bestie — chcon is the fling, semanage fcontext is the committed relationship 💖

🧰 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. yes, a GUI. for when the terminal is too much. we've all been there. 🫶

okay bestie, this is the part where the page goes "here's the whole friend group, go say hi" 🫶 every single one of these is a real page you can pull up, so go be nosy:

and yes, before you come for me in the replies 💀 the pegasus_openlmi_* pages are literally listed twice each in the original, so I'm listing them twice too. that's not a typo on my end, that's just how the page is. iykyk 💅

and that's a wrap on the whole page, bestie!! 🎀 this one came from pegasus, dated 26-10-06 (that's the 6th of October, 2026 in the cute little YY-MM-DD fit), and the page itself is pegasus_selinux(8) 💖 go forth and be selinux-literate, you absolute icon 👑✨
