π user_gkeyringd_selinux β the SELinux glow-up for user_gkeyringd processes β¨
okay so bestie, welcome to the user_gkeyringd_selinux(8) page (that's the manual name, and yes it's a mouthful, we're abbreviating to user_gkey...d_selinux(8) in the corner like a little nickname π). This is the Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the user_gkeyringd processes, and honestly? It's giving lockdown but make it chic. π₯
π¦ NAME π¦
user_gkeyringd_selinux β the Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the user_gkeyringd processes. periodt. π
πΈ DESCRIPTION πΈ
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the user_gkeyringd processes via flexible mandatory access control. like, flexible but also mandatory, she contains multitudes π
The user_gkeyringd processes execute with the user_gkeyringd_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 user_gkeyringd_t
ngl this one-liner is iconic, run it and see who's on the guest list β¨
πͺ ENTRYPOINTS πͺ
The user_gkeyringd_t SELinux type can be entered via the gkeyringd_exec_t file type.
The default entrypoint paths for the user_gkeyringd_t domain are the following:
/usr/bin/mate-keyring-daemon
/usr/bin/gnome-keyring-daemon
those are the doors, no cap π«Ά
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. SELinux user_gkeyringd policy is very flexible, allowing users to setup their user_gkeyringd processes in as secure a method as possible. π
The following process types are defined for user_gkeyringd:
user_gkeyringd_t
Note:semanage permissive -a user_gkeyringd_tcan be used to make the process typeuser_gkeyringd_tpermissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. π so she'll be chill about it, but she still β¨journalsβ¨ everything.
π BOOLEANS π
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. user_gkeyringd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run user_gkeyringd with the tightest access possible. tightest access = smallest purse, most secure vibes π
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
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
see? two whole booleans, both slaying in their own lane π§
ποΈ MANAGED FILES ποΈ
The SELinux process type user_gkeyringd_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 both. SELinux is not doing your DAC homework for you, bestie 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. yes a GUI, for when the terminal is not giving today π«Ά
