− Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the syslogd
processes</p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Security-Enhanced
Linux secures the syslogd processes via flexible mandatory
access control.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The syslogd
processes execute with the syslogd_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 syslogd_t</b></p>
<h2>ENTRYPOINTS
<a name="ENTRYPOINTS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The syslogd_t
SELinux type can be entered via the <b>syslogd_exec_t</b>
file type.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The default
entrypoint paths for the syslogd_t domain are the
following:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/sbin/syslogd,
/sbin/minilogd, /sbin/rsyslogd, /sbin/syslog-ng,
/usr/sbin/metalog, /usr/sbin/syslogd, /usr/sbin/minilogd,

<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 syslogd
policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
syslogd processes in as secure a method as possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
process types are defined for syslogd:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>syslogd_t,
syslogd_unconfined_script_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note:
<b>semanage permissive -a syslogd_t</b> can be used to make
the process type syslogd_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. syslogd
policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
allow you to manipulate the policy and run syslogd with the
tightest access possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
