<h2>NAME

</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">nscd_selinux
− Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the nscd
processes</p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Security-Enhanced
Linux secures the nscd processes via flexible mandatory
access control.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The nscd
processes execute with the nscd_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 nscd_t</b></p>
<h2>ENTRYPOINTS
<a name="ENTRYPOINTS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The nscd_t
SELinux type can be entered via the <b>nscd_exec_t</b> file
type.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The default
entrypoint paths for the nscd_t domain are the
following:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/usr/sbin/nscd</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 nscd
policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their nscd
processes in as secure a method as possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
process types are defined for nscd:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>nscd_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note:
<b>semanage permissive -a nscd_t</b> can be used to make the
process type nscd_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. nscd policy
is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
you to manipulate the policy and run nscd with the tightest
access possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched,
sys_nice), you must turn on the daemons_dontaudit_scheduling
boolean. Enabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 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 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
allow samba to act as the domain controller, add users,
groups and change passwords, you must turn on the
samba_domain_controller boolean. Disabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
samba_domain_controller 1</b></p>
<h2>MANAGED FILES

process type nscd_t can manage files labeled with the

<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
nscd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
nscd processes in as secure a method as possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>EQUIVALENCE
DIRECTORIES</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">nscd policy
stores data with multiple different file context types under
the /var/run/nscd directory. If you would like to store the
data in a different directory you can use the semanage
command to create an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to
store this data under the /srv directory you would execute
the following command:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
fcontext -a -e /var/run/nscd /srv/nscd <br>
restorecon -R -v /srv/nscd</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>STANDARD
FILE CONTEXT</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">SELinux defines
the file context types for the nscd, if you wanted to store
files with these types in a different paths, you need to
execute the semanage command to specify alternate labeling
and then use restorecon to put the labels on disk.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
fcontext -a -t nscd_log_t
’/srv/mynscd_content(/.*)?’ <br>
restorecon -R -v /srv/mynscd_content</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note: SELinux
often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match
multiple files.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><i>The
following file types are defined for nscd:</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>nscd_exec_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files
with the nscd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the nscd_t domain.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>nscd_initrc_exec_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files

an executable to the nscd_initrc_t domain.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>nscd_log_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files
with the nscd_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
nscd log data, usually stored under the /var/log
directory.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>nscd_unit_file_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files
with the nscd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the nscd

/var/run/nscd.pid, /var/run/.nscd_socket</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>
