<h2>NAME
<a name="NAME"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">namespace_init_selinux
− Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
namespace_init processes</p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Security-Enhanced
Linux secures the namespace_init processes via flexible
mandatory access control.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
namespace_init processes execute with the namespace_init_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 namespace_init_t</b></p>
<h2>ENTRYPOINTS
<a name="ENTRYPOINTS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
namespace_init_t SELinux type can be entered via the
<b>namespace_init_exec_t</b> file type.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The default
entrypoint paths for the namespace_init_t domain are the
following:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/etc/security/namespace.init,
/etc/security/namespace.d(/.*)?</p>
<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
namespace_init policy is very flexible allowing users to
setup their namespace_init processes in as secure a method
as possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
process types are defined for namespace_init:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>namespace_init_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note:
<b>semanage permissive -a namespace_init_t</b> can be used
to make the process type namespace_init_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.
namespace_init policy is extremely flexible and has several
booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run
namespace_init with the tightest access possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow system to run with NIS, you must turn on the
nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
nis_enabled 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
enable polyinstantiated directory support, you must turn on
the polyinstantiation_enabled boolean. Disabled by
default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
polyinstantiation_enabled 1</b></p>
<h2>MANAGED FILES
<a name="MANAGED FILES"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The SELinux
process type namespace_init_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.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>krb5_host_rcache_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/var/tmp/krb5_0.rcache2

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>security_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/selinux</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>user_home_type</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">all user home
files</p>
<h2>FILE CONTEXTS
<a name="FILE CONTEXTS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">SELinux
requires files to have an extended attribute to define the
file type.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">You can see the
context of a file using the <b>−Z</b> option to
<b>ls</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Policy governs
the access confined processes have to these files. SELinux
namespace_init policy is very flexible allowing users to
setup their namespace_init processes in as secure a method
as possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>The
following file types are defined for namespace_init:</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>namespace_init_exec_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files
with the namespace_init_exec_t type, if you want to
transition an executable to the namespace_init_t domain.
<br>
Paths:</p>
<p style="margin-left:18%;">/etc/security/namespace.init,
/etc/security/namespace.d(/.*)?</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">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 <b>semanage fcontext</b> command. This will
modify the SELinux labeling database. You will need to use
<b>restorecon</b> to apply the labels.</p>
<h2>COMMANDS
<a name="COMMANDS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
fcontext</b> can also be used to manipulate default file
context mappings.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
permissive</b> can also be used to manipulate whether or not
a process type is permissive.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
module</b> can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove
policy modules.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
boolean</b> can also be used to manipulate the booleans</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>system-config-selinux</b>
is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy
settings.</p>
