ddclient_selinux(8) ddclient SELinux Policy documentation ddclient_selinux(8)NAMEddclient_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ddclient pro‐
cesses
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ddclient processes via flexible
mandatory access control.
NSSWITCH DOMAINFILE 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 ddclient policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
ddclient processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for ddclient:
ddclient_etc_t
- Set files with the ddclient_etc_t type, if you want to store ddclient
files in the /etc directories.
Paths:
/etc/ddclient.conf, /etc/ddtcd.conf
ddclient_exec_t
- Set files with the ddclient_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the ddclient_t domain.
Paths:
/usr/sbin/ddclient, /usr/sbin/ddtcd
ddclient_initrc_exec_t
- Set files with the ddclient_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
sition an executable to the ddclient_initrc_t domain.
ddclient_log_t
- Set files with the ddclient_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
as ddclient log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
ddclient_tmp_t
- Set files with the ddclient_tmp_t type, if you want to store ddclient
temporary files in the /tmp directories.
ddclient_var_lib_t
- Set files with the ddclient_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
ddclient files under the /var/lib directory.
ddclient_var_run_t
- Set files with the ddclient_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
ddclient files under the /run directory.
Paths:
/var/run/ddtcd.pid, /var/run/ddclient.pid
ddclient_var_t
- Set files with the ddclient_var_t type, if you want to store the ddcl
files under the /var directory.
Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
If you want to permanantly 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.
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
ddclient policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ddclient
processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for ddclient:
ddclient_t
Note: semanage permissive -a PROCESS_TYPE can be used to make a process
type permissive. Permissive process types are not denied access by
SELinux. AVC messages will still be generated.
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.
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
icy settings.
