rhnsd_selinux(8)

🎀 NAME 🎀

okay bestie, this is rhnsd_selinux(8) — the page for rhnsd_selinux, which is literally Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the rhnsd processes. periodt 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

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

The rhnsd processes execute with the rhnsd_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 rhnsd_t

---

🦋 ENTRYPOINTS 🦋

The rhnsd_t SELinux type can be entered via the rhnsd_exec_t file type.

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

/usr/bin/rhnsd

---

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

The following process types are defined for rhnsd:

• rhnsd_t

Note: semanage permissive -a rhnsd_t can be used to make the process type rhnsd_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. rhnsd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run rhnsd with the tightest access possible. slay for least privilege 💖

• daemons_dontaudit_scheduling — 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

• 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 rhnsd_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. iykyk 🔥

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

🌈 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT 🌈

SELinux defines the file context types for the rhnsd, 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 rhnsd_exec_t '/srv/rhnsd/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myrhnsd_content

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

The following file types are defined for rhnsd:

• rhnsd_conf_t — Set files with the rhnsd_conf_t type, if you want to treat the files as rhnsd configuration data, usually stored under the /etc directory.
• rhnsd_exec_t — Set files with the rhnsd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the rhnsd_t domain.
• rhnsd_initrc_exec_t — Set files with the rhnsd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the rhnsd_initrc_t domain.
• rhnsd_unit_file_t — Set files with the rhnsd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the files as rhnsd unit content.
• rhnsd_var_run_t — Set files with the rhnsd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the rhnsd 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. permanent labels only, bestie 🫶

💜 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.
