π NAME
<pink>samba_gpupdate_selinux</pink> β Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the samba_gpupdate processes. This is the samba_gpupdate_selinux(8) manual page, bestie. π«Ά
β¨ DESCRIPTION
Okay so Security-Enhanced Linux secures the samba_gpupdate processes via flexible mandatory access control. No cap.
The samba_gpupdate processes execute with the samba_gpupdate_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 samba_gpupdate_t
πͺ ENTRYPOINTS
The samba_gpupdate_t SELinux type can be entered via the samba_gpupdate_exec_t file type.
The default entrypoint paths for the samba_gpupdate_t domain are literally these:
/usr/bin/samba-gpupdate
𧬠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 samba_gpupdate policy is very flexible, allowing users to set up their samba_gpupdate processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for samba_gpupdate:
samba_gpupdate_tβ the whole process-type vibe forsamba_gpupdate. π
Note:semanage permissive -a samba_gpupdate_tcan be used to make the process typesamba_gpupdate_tpermissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. So yeah β it's giving "not blocked, but still snitched on." π
π BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. samba_gpupdate policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run samba_gpupdate with the tightest access possible.
If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on the fips_mode boolean. It's enabled by default. Turn it on with:
setsebool -P fips_mode 1
π 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 samba_gpupdate policy is very flexible, allowing users to set up their samba_gpupdate processes in as secure a method as possible.
π STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
SELinux defines the file context types for samba_gpupdate. 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 samba_gpupdate_exec_t '/srv/samba_gpupdate/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mysamba_gpupdate_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. Regex girlies rise. π§
The following file types are defined for samba_gpupdate:
samba_gpupdate_exec_tβ set files with thesamba_gpupdate_exec_ttype if you want to transition an executable to thesamba_gpupdate_tdomain. Slay.
Note: File context can be temporarily modified with thechconcommand. If you want to permanently change the file context you need to use thesemanage fcontextcommand. This will modify the SELinux labeling database. You will need to userestoreconto apply the labels. Periodt. π
π COMMANDS
semanage fcontextcan also be used to manipulate default file context mappings.semanage permissivecan also be used to manipulate whether or not a process type is permissive.semanage modulecan also be used to enable/disable/install/remove policy modules.semanage booleancan also be used to manipulate the booleans.system-config-selinuxis a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
