<h2>NAME
<a name="NAME"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">afs_vlserver_selinux
− Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the afs_vlserver
processes</p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Security-Enhanced
Linux secures the afs_vlserver processes via flexible
mandatory access control.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
afs_vlserver processes execute with the afs_vlserver_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 afs_vlserver_t</b></p>
<h2>ENTRYPOINTS
<a name="ENTRYPOINTS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
afs_vlserver_t SELinux type can be entered via the
<b>afs_vlserver_exec_t</b> file type.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The default
entrypoint paths for the afs_vlserver_t domain are the
following:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/usr/afs/bin/vlserver,
/usr/libexec/openafs/vlserver</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
afs_vlserver policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
their afs_vlserver processes in as secure a method as
possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
process types are defined for afs_vlserver:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>afs_vlserver_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note:
<b>semanage permissive -a afs_vlserver_t</b> can be used to
make the process type afs_vlserver_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. afs_vlserver
policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
allow you to manipulate the policy and run afs_vlserver with
the tightest access possible.</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>
<h2>MANAGED FILES
<a name="MANAGED FILES"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The SELinux
process type afs_vlserver_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>afs_logfile_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/usr/afs/logs(/.*)?</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>afs_vl_db_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/usr/afs/db/vl.*</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
afs_vlserver policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
their afs_vlserver 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 afs_vlserver:</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>afs_vlserver_exec_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files
with the afs_vlserver_exec_t type, if you want to transition
an executable to the afs_vlserver_t domain. <br>
Paths:</p>
<p style="margin-left:18%;">/usr/afs/bin/vlserver,
/usr/libexec/openafs/vlserver</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>
