sandbox_..._selinux(8)
bestie, welcome to the sandbox_..._selinux(8) manual page β the one for sandbox_net_client_selinux, all about the SELinux policy for sandbox_net_client processes. grab a strawberry drink π, we're reading the whole thing.
π NAME π
sandbox_net_client_selinux β Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the sandbox_net_client processes. that's the whole name section, slay.
π¦ DESCRIPTION π¦
okay so Security-Enhanced Linux secures the sandbox_net_client processes via flexible mandatory access control. periodt.
The sandbox_net_client processes execute with the sandbox_net_client_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 sandbox_net_client_t
π PROCESS TYPES π
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. The SELinux sandbox_net_client policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their sandbox_net_client processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for sandbox_net_client:
sandbox_net_client_t
Note:semanage permissive -a sandbox_net_client_tcan be used to make the process typesandbox_net_client_tpermissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.
β¨ BOOLEANS β¨
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. The sandbox_net_client policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run sandbox_net_client with the tightest access possible.
- If you want to deny user domains applications to map a memory region as both executable and writable β this is dangerous and the executable should be reported in bugzilla β you must turn on the
deny_execmemboolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P deny_execmem 1
- If you want to allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
nis_enabledboolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P nis_enabled 1
π¦ MANAGED FILES π¦
The SELinux process type sandbox_net_client_t can manage files labeled with the following file types. The paths listed are the default paths for these file types. Note: the process's UID still needs to have DAC permissions.

π COMMANDS π
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.
