NAME
       automount_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the automount
       processes

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

       The  automount processes execute with the automount_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 automount_t

ENTRYPOINTS
       The  automount_t	 SELinux  type can be entered via the automount_exec_t
       file type.

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

       /usr/sbin/automount, /etc/apm/event.d/autofs

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
       automount  policy  is very flexible allowing users to setup their auto‐
       mount processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following process types are defined for automount:

       automount_t

       Note: semanage permissive -a  automount_t  can  be  used	 to  make  the
       process	type  automount_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.	 auto‐
       mount policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that	 allow
       you to manipulate the policy and run automount with the tightest access
       possible.

       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
       ldap  rather  then  using  a  sssd server, you must turn on the authlo‐
       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1

       If you want to allow all daemons to write corefiles to /, you must turn
       on the daemons_dump_core boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P daemons_dump_core 1

       If  you	want  to enable cluster mode for daemons, you must turn on the
       daemons_enable_cluster_mode boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P daemons_enable_cluster_mode 1

       If you want to allow all daemons to use tcp wrappers, you must turn  on
       the daemons_use_tcp_wrapper boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P daemons_use_tcp_wrapper 1

       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

       If  you	want  to allow confined applications to run with kerberos, you
       must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1

       If you want to allow the mount commands to mount any directory or file,
       you must turn on the mount_anyfile boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P mount_anyfile 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

       If you want to allow confined applications to use nscd  shared  memory,
       you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

NSSWITCH DOMAIN
       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from
       ldap rather then using a sssd server for the automount_t, you must turn
       on the authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean.

       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1

       If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos for the
       automount_t, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean.

       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1

MANAGED FILES
       The SELinux process type automount_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.

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

       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

       SELinux defines the file context types for the automount, 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 automount_exec_t '/srv/automount/content(/.*)?'
       restorecon -R -v /srv/myautomount_content

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

       The following file types are defined for automount:

       automount_exec_t

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

       Paths:
	    /usr/sbin/automount, /etc/apm/event.d/autofs

       automount_initrc_exec_t

       - Set files with the automount_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
       sition an executable to the automount_initrc_t domain.

       automount_keytab_t

       -  Set files with the automount_keytab_t type, if you want to treat the
       files as kerberos keytab files.

       automount_lock_t

       - Set files with the automount_lock_t type, if you want	to  treat  the
       files as automount lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory

       automount_tmp_t

       -  Set  files with the automount_tmp_t type, if you want to store auto‐
       mount temporary files in the /tmp directories.

       automount_unit_file_t

       - Set files with the automount_unit_file_t type, if you want  to	 treat
       the files as automount unit content.

       automount_var_run_t

       - Set files with the automount_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
       automount files under the /run or /var/run directory.

       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.
