systemd_homed_selinux(8)

Okay so this is the systemd_homed_selinux(8) page — the whole vibe is SELinux policy for the systemd_homed processes, and honestly it's giving secure-but-flexible main character energy. 💅✨

🌸 NAME 🌸

systemd_homed_selinux — Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the systemd_homed processes. No cap, that's the whole name. 🫶

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the systemd_homed processes via flexible mandatory access control. It's literally the bouncer at the club but make it kernel-level. 🔥

The systemd_homed processes execute with the systemd_homed_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 systemd_homed_t

That's the vibe check for your processes. 👑

🚪 ENTRYPOINTS 🚪

The systemd_homed_t SELinux type can be entered via the systemd_homed_exec_t, user_home_t file types.

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

/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-homed, /home/[^/]+/.+

Those are the doors into the domain, bestie. 🚪💖

🧬 PROCESS TYPES 🧬

SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the system. Every process gets a little label, it's very demure. 🎀

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

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux systemd_homed policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their systemd_homed processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following process types are defined for systemd_homed:

• systemd_homed_t

Note: semanage permissive -a systemd_homed_t can be used to make the process type systemd_homed_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. So it's like, not enforced but still snitching. 💀

🎚️ BOOLEANS 🎚️

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. systemd_homed policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run systemd_homed with the tightest access possible. Toggle them like your life depends on it. 🎛️✨

• daemons_dontaudit_scheduling — If you want to dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched, sys_nice), you must turn on this 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 this 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 this boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

• use_nfs_home_dirs — If you want to support NFS home directories, you must turn on this boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1

• use_samba_home_dirs — If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on this boolean. Disabled by default.

setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 1

Slay those booleans responsibly. 💅

📁 MANAGED FILES 📁

The SELinux process type systemd_homed_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. So SELinux isn't doing everything for you, bestie. 😭

• user_home_type

all user home files

That's a whole lot of file types, but we keep every single one. Periodt. 💖

🗂️ FILE CONTEXTS 🗂️

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. It's like every file has a little aura. ✨

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

🎀 STANDARD FILE CONTEXT 🎀

SELinux defines the file context types for the systemd_homed, 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. It's giving custom labels, and we love that. 🏷️

semanage fcontext -a -t systemd_homed_exec_t '/srv/systemd_homed/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mysystemd_homed_content

Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files. So regex is your friend here. 🧚

The following file types are defined for systemd_homed:

• systemd_homed_cache_t — Set files with the systemd_homed_cache_t type, if you want to store the files under the /var/cache directory.
• systemd_homed_crypto_luks_t — Set files with the systemd_homed_crypto_luks_t type, if you want to treat the files as systemd homed crypto luks data.
• systemd_homed_exec_t — Set files with the systemd_homed_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the systemd_homed_t domain.
• systemd_homed_library_dir_t — Set files with the systemd_homed_library_dir_t type, if you want to treat the files as systemd homed library dir data.
• systemd_homed_record_t — Set files with the systemd_homed_record_t type, if you want to treat the files as systemd homed record data.

Paths:

/var/lib/systemd/home/(.+).public,
/var/lib/systemd/home/(.+).identity,
/var/lib/systemd/home/local.public,
/var/lib/systemd/home/local.private, /home/[^/]+/.identity-blob(/.*)?, /home/[^/]+/.identity

• systemd_homed_runtime_dir_t — Set files with the systemd_homed_runtime_dir_t type, if you want to treat the files as systemd homed runtime dir data.
• systemd_homed_runtime_pipe_t — Set files with the systemd_homed_runtime_pipe_t type, if you want to treat the files as systemd homed runtime pipe data.
• systemd_homed_runtime_socket_t — Set files with the systemd_homed_runtime_socket_t type, if you want to treat the files as systemd homed runtime socket data.
• systemd_homed_runtime_work_dir_t — Set files with the systemd_homed_runtime_work_dir_t type, if you want to treat the files as systemd homed runtime work dir data.
• systemd_homed_tmpfs_t — Set files with the systemd_homed_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store systemd homed files on a tmpfs file system.
• systemd_homed_unit_file_t — Set files with the systemd_homed_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the files as systemd homed unit content.

Paths:

/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-homed.service,
/usr/lib/systemd/system/systemd-homed-activate.service

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 don't be messy with it. 💀

🛠️ 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.

All the tools you need, honestly. 🧰✨
