− Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the games
processes</p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Security-Enhanced
Linux secures the games processes via flexible mandatory
access control.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The games
processes execute with the games_t SELinux type. You can
check if you have these processes running by executing the
<b>ps</b> command with the <b>−Z</b> qualifier.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">For
example:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>ps -eZ |
grep games_t</b></p>
<h2>ENTRYPOINTS
<a name="ENTRYPOINTS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The games_t
SELinux type can be entered via the <b>games_exec_t</b> file
type.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The default
entrypoint paths for the games_t domain are the
following:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/usr/games/.*,

<h2>PROCESS TYPES
<a name="PROCESS TYPES"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">SELinux defines
process types (domains) for each process running on the
system</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">You can see the
context of a process using the <b>−Z</b> option to
<b>ps</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Policy governs
the access confined processes have to files. SELinux games
policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their games
processes in as secure a method as possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
process types are defined for games:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>games_t,
games_srv_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note:
<b>semanage permissive -a games_t</b> can be used to make
the process type games_t permissive. SELinux does not deny
access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux
denials) messages are still generated.</p>
<h2>BOOLEANS
<a name="BOOLEANS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">SELinux policy
is customizable based on least access required. games policy
is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
you to manipulate the policy and run games with the tightest
access possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
deny user domains applications to map a memory region as
both executable and writable, this is dangerous and the
executable should be reported in bugzilla, you must turn on
the deny_execmem boolean. Disabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
deny_execmem 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn on
the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
fips_mode 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow confined applications to use nscd shared memory, you
must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Enabled by
default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
nscd_use_shm 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow regular users direct dri device access, you must turn
on the selinuxuser_direct_dri_enabled boolean. Enabled by
default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
selinuxuser_direct_dri_enabled 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allows clients to write to the X server shared memory
segments, you must turn on the xserver_clients_write_xshm
boolean. Disabled by default.</p>
