SELinux Notes

SELinux context contains a user, role and context type

Contexts are stored in /etc/selinux/targeted/contexts/files/file_contexts

Assign the context name_log_t to the logs directory

semanage fcontext -a -t named_log_t '/var/named/chroot/logs(/.*)?'

Assign the dns_port_t context to TCP port 12345

semanage port -a -t dns_port_t -p tcp 12345

Change the context of a file based on another file (not persistent)

chcon --reference /var/www/html /var/www/html2

Set the files to their default context

restorecon -Rv /var/www/html

List booleans on a system

getsebool -a

List boolean values with descriptions

semanage boolean -l

Change a boolean value ("-P" makes this persistent)

setsebool -P ftpd_anon_write on

Report SELinux violations by analyzing the audit log file

sealert -a /var/log/audit/audit.log

You can remedy violations with auti2allow. The output from sealert

shows the commands you need to run.

List system user to SELinux mappings

semanage login -l

Change the defaul user mapping to user_u instead of default

semanage login -s -S targeted -s "user_u" -r so __default__

Map the user ollie to the SELinux user staff_u

semanage login -a -s staff_u ollie

THe SELinux roles sysadm_r and staff_r are the only roles allowed to use sudo
