NAME
       auditctl_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the auditctl pro‐
       cesses

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

       The  auditctl  processes	 execute with the auditctl_t SELinux type. You
       can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps  com‐
       mand with the -Z qualifier.

       For example:

       ps -eZ | grep auditctl_t

ENTRYPOINTS
       The auditctl_t SELinux type can be entered via the auditctl_exec_t file
       type.

       The default entrypoint paths for the auditctl_t domain are the  follow‐
       ing:

       /sbin/auditctl, /usr/sbin/auditctl

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

       The following process types are defined for auditctl:

       auditctl_t

       Note: semanage permissive -a auditctl_t can be used to make the process
       type  auditctl_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.
       auditctl policy is extremely flexible and  has  several	booleans  that
       allow  you  to manipulate the policy and run auditctl with the tightest
       access possible.

       If you want to allow all daemons the ability to	read/write  terminals,
       you must turn on the daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P daemons_use_tty 1

       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

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

       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

       SELinux	defines the file context types for the auditctl, 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 auditctl_exec_t '/srv/auditctl/content(/.*)?'
       restorecon -R -v /srv/myauditctl_content

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

       The following file types are defined for auditctl:

       auditctl_exec_t

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

       Paths:
	    /sbin/auditctl, /usr/sbin/auditctl

       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.
