💖 NAME 💖

okay bestie, so systemd_nm_initrd_generator_selinux — that's the Security Enhanced Linux Policy page for the systemd_nm_initrd_generator processes. yes it's a mouthful, no we're not shortening it, she's iconic like that. 🎀

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the systemd_nm_initrd_generator processes via flexible mandatory access control. that's the whole vibe — SELinux is the bouncer at the club and she checks everyone's ID. 💅

The systemd_nm_initrd_generator processes execute with the systemd_nm_initrd_generator_t SELinux type. wanna check if you've got these processes running? run the ps command with the -Z qualifier, like this:

ps -eZ | grep systemd_nm_initrd_generator_t

literally that's it. go look. i'll wait. 🦋

---

🌸 ENTRYPOINTS 🌸

so the systemd_nm_initrd_generator_t SELinux type can be entered via the systemd_nm_initrd_generator_exec_t file type. that's the door. 🚪✨

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

/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/nm-initrd-generator.sh

one single path, one single queen. periodt. 👑

---

🧚 PROCESS TYPES 🧚

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

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 systemd_nm_initrd_generator policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their systemd_nm_initrd_generator processes in as secure a method as possible. tightest security, bestie. we love to see it. 🔥

The following process types are defined for systemd_nm_initrd_generator:

• systemd_nm_initrd_generator_t

Note: semanage permissive -a systemd_nm_initrd_generator_t can be used to make the process type systemd_nm_initrd_generator_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. so like, she stops actually blocking you but she still writes it all down in her diary. 💀

---

🍓 BOOLEANS 🍓

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. the systemd_nm_initrd_generator policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run systemd_nm_initrd_generator with the tightest access possible. it's giving custom playlist. 🎧

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

two booleans, both already on, both slaying. 💖

🌈 MANAGED FILES 🌈

The SELinux process type systemd_nm_initrd_generator_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. (yes, even with all this SELinux magic, the regular permissions still gotta say yes. both gates, no skipping. 🙈)

• cluster_conf_t

/etc/cluster(/.*)?

• cluster_var_lib_t

🦋 FILE CONTEXTS 🦋

SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file type. it's like a name tag but for files, and the name tag is legally binding. 🏷️

You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls.

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

⭐ STANDARD FILE CONTEXT ⭐

SELinux defines the file context types for the systemd_nm_initrd_generator. 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 systemd_nm_initrd_generator_exec_t '/srv/systemd_nm_initrd_generator/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mysystemd_nm_initrd_generator_content

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

The following file types are defined for systemd_nm_initrd_generator:

• systemd_nm_initrd_generator_exec_t
  • Set files with the systemd_nm_initrd_generator_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the systemd_nm_initrd_generator_t domain.
• systemd_nm_initrd_generator_unit_file_t
  • Set files with the systemd_nm_initrd_generator_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the files as systemd nm initrd generator unit content.

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 chcon is the erasable pen and semanage fcontext + restorecon is the permanent marker. choose wisely 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. yes, a GUI, for when you don't feel like typing. valid. 🫶
