aide_selinux(8)		      SELinux Policy aide	       aide_selinux(8)

NAME
       aide_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the aide processes

DESCRIPTION
       Security-Enhanced  Linux secures the aide processes via flexible manda‐
       tory access control.

       The aide processes execute with the aide_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 aide_t

ENTRYPOINTS
       The aide_t SELinux type can be entered via the aide_exec_t file type.

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

       /usr/sbin/aide

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
       aide policy is very flexible allowing users to setup  their  aide  pro‐
       cesses in as secure a method as possible.

       The following process types are defined for aide:

       aide_t

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

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

       If you want to deny any process from ptracing or	 debugging  any	 other
       processes,  you	must  turn  on	the  deny_ptrace  boolean.  Enabled by
       default.

       setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1

       If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
       you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1

       If  you	want to allow all domains to have the kernel load modules, you
       must  turn  on  the  domain_kernel_load_modules	boolean.  Disabled  by
       default.

       setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 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

       If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
       on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P global_ssp 1

MANAGED FILES
       The  SELinux process type aide_t can manage files labeled with the fol‐
       lowing file types.  The paths listed are the default  paths  for	 these
       file types.  Note the processes UID still need to have DAC permissions.

       aide_db_t

	    /var/lib/aide(/.*)

       aide_log_t

	    /var/log/aide(/.*)?
	    /var/log/aide.log.*

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

       EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES

       aide policy stores data with  multiple  different  file	context	 types
       under the /var/log/aide directory.  If you would like to store the data
       in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create  an
       equivalence  mapping.   If you wanted to store this data under the /srv
       dirctory you would execute the following command:

       semanage fcontext -a -e /var/log/aide /srv/aide
       restorecon -R -v /srv/aide

       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

       SELinux defines the file context types for the aide, if you  wanted  to
       store  files  with  these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
       the semanage command  to	 sepecify  alternate  labeling	and  then  use
       restorecon to put the labels on disk.

       semanage fcontext -a -t aide_db_t '/srv/aide/content(/.*)?'
       restorecon -R -v /srv/myaide_content

       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
       match multiple files.

       The following file types are defined for aide:

       aide_db_t

       - Set files with the aide_db_t type, if you want to treat the files  as
       aide database content.

       aide_exec_t

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

       aide_log_t

       - Set files with the aide_log_t type, if you want to treat the data  as
       aide log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.

       Paths:
	    /var/log/aide(/.*)?, /var/log/aide.log.*

       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 data‐
       base.  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  pol‐
       icy modules.

       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans

       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
       icy settings.
