NAME¶

afs_bosserver_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the afs_bosserver processes

DESCRIPTION¶

Security-Enhanced Linux secures the afs_bosserver processes via flexible mandatory access control.

The afs_bosserver processes execute with the afs_bosserver_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 afs_bosserver_t

ENTRYPOINTS¶

The afs_bosserver_t SELinux type can be entered via the afs_bosserver_exec_t file type.

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

/usr/sbin/bosserver, /usr/afs/bin/bosserver

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

The following process types are defined for afs_bosserver:

afs_bosserver_t

Note: semanage permissive -a afs_bosserver_t can be used to make the process type afs_bosserver_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.

BOOLEANS¶

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. afs_bosserver policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run afs_bosserver with the tightest access possible.

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

MANAGED FILES¶

The SELinux process type afs_bosserver_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.

afs_dbdir_t

/usr/afs/db

afs_logfile_t

/usr/afs/logs(/.*)?

cluster_conf_t

/etc/cluster(/.*)?

cluster_var_lib_t

/var/lib/pcsd(/.*)?
/var/lib/cluster(/.*)?
/var/lib/openais(/.*)?
/var/lib/pengine(/.*)?
/var/lib/corosync(/.*)?
/usr/lib/heartbeat(/.*)?
/var/lib/heartbeat(/.*)?
/var/lib/pacemaker(/.*)?

cluster_var_run_t

/var/run/crm(/.*)?
/var/run/cman_.*
/var/run/rsctmp(/.*)?
/var/run/aisexec.*
/var/run/heartbeat(/.*)?
/var/run/pcsd-ruby.socket
/var/run/corosync-qnetd(/.*)?
/var/run/corosync-qdevice(/.*)?
/var/run/pcsd.socket
/var/run/corosync.pid
/var/run/cpglockd.pid
/var/run/rgmanager.pid
/var/run/cluster/rgmanager.sk

root_t

/sysroot/ostree/deploy/.*-atomic/deploy(/.*)?
/
/initrd

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

The following file types are defined for afs_bosserver:

afs_bosserver_exec_t

- Set files with the afs_bosserver_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the afs_bosserver_t domain.

Paths:

/usr/sbin/bosserver, /usr/afs/bin/bosserver

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.

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.
