💖 racoon_selinux(8) — the SELinux glow-up for racoon 💖

okay bestie, welcome to the manual page for racoon_selinux, section 8 of the SELinux Policy racoon situation. this is the whole lore on how SELinux keeps the racoon processes in check, and i'm gonna walk you through it like we're texting at 2am 🫶

✨ NAME ✨

racoon_selinux — Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the racoon processes, no cap 💅

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the racoon processes via flexible mandatory access control. that's the whole vibe: the policy is doing the supervising so your racoon stuff stays contained and iconic 👑

The racoon processes execute with the racoon_t SELinux type. you can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier. like, literally just peek at the labels, it's giving detective energy 🔍

For example:

ps -eZ | grep racoon_t

🦋 ENTRYPOINTS 🦋

The racoon_t SELinux type can be entered via the racoon_exec_t file type. that's the door, bestie 🚪✨

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

/usr/bin/racoon

👑 PROCESS TYPES 👑

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. every process gets its own little domain, main character energy for everyone honestly 💫

You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps. yes, -Z again — it's the it-girl flag for contexts, iykyk 💅

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux racoon policy is very flexible, allowing users to set up their racoon processes in as secure a method as possible. flexible and secure? we love a multitasking queen 🌈

The following process types are defined for racoon:

racoon_t

Note: semanage permissive -a racoon_t can be used to make the process type racoon_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 gossip about you in the logs 😭💀

🎀 BOOLEANS 🎀

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. racoon policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run racoon with the tightest access possible. we love a configurable icon ✨

If you want to allow racoon to read shadow, you must turn on the racoon_read_shadow boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P racoon_read_shadow 1

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 confined applications to run with kerberos, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 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

🌈 MANAGED FILES 🌈

The SELinux process type racoon_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 out here doing everything, bestie 🙈

🧚 FILE CONTEXTS 🧚

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. yes, even your random little files get labeled — everyone's got a type, literally ✨

You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls. -Z really is the moment, it keeps showing up 💅

Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files. SELinux racoon policy is very flexible, allowing users to set up their racoon processes in as secure a method as possible. (yes, i said it twice, because the manpage said it twice and i keep every detail, bestie 🫶)

⭐ STANDARD FILE CONTEXT ⭐

SELinux defines the file context types for the racoon. 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. relabeling era 💖

semanage fcontext -a -t racoon_exec_t '/srv/racoon/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myracoon_content

Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. regex girlies rise 😭🔥

The following file types are defined for racoon:

• racoon_exec_t — set files with the racoon_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the racoon_t domain. that's the glow-up-to-racoon_t pipeline, iconic 🦋
• racoon_tmp_t — set files with the racoon_tmp_t type, if you want to store racoon temporary files in the /tmp directories. temp files deserve cute labels too 🎀

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. so like, chcon is the quick little messy bun, semanage fcontext is the full blowout 💅

💜 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 when you want to click instead of type 🖱️✨
