NAME
       cronjob_selinux	-  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the cronjob pro‐
       cesses

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

       The  cronjob processes execute with the cronjob_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 cronjob_t

ENTRYPOINTS
       The  cronjob_t  SELinux	type can be entered via the user_cron_spool_t,
       shell_exec_t file types.

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

       /var/spool/at(/.*)?,	/var/spool/cron,    /bin/d?ash,	   /bin/zsh.*,
       /bin/ksh.*, /usr/bin/d?ash, /usr/bin/zsh.*,  /usr/bin/ksh.*,  /bin/esh,
       /bin/mksh,   /bin/sash,	/bin/tcsh,  /bin/yash,	/bin/bash,  /bin/fish,
       /bin/bash2, /usr/bin/esh, /usr/bin/sash, /usr/bin/tcsh,	/usr/bin/yash,
       /usr/bin/fish,	  /usr/bin/mksh,     /usr/bin/bash,	/sbin/nologin,
       /usr/sbin/sesh,	/usr/bin/bash2,	  /usr/sbin/smrsh,   /usr/bin/scponly,
       /usr/sbin/nologin, /usr/libexec/sesh, /usr/sbin/scponlyc, /usr/bin/git-
       shell, /usr/libexec/git-core/git-shell

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

       The following process types are defined for cronjob:

       cronjob_t

       Note:  semanage permissive -a cronjob_t can be used to make the process
       type cronjob_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.  cronjob
       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
       manipulate the policy and run cronjob with the tightest	access	possi‐
       ble.

       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 system to run with	NIS,  you  must	 turn  on  the
       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

MANAGED FILES
       The  SELinux  process  type cronjob_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.

       user_home_t

	    /home/[^/]*/.+

       user_tmp_t

	    /var/run/user(/.*)?
	    /tmp/gconfd-.*

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.
