<h2>NAME

</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">pdns_selinux
− Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the pdns
processes</p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Security-Enhanced
Linux secures the pdns processes via flexible mandatory
access control.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The pdns
processes execute with the pdns_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 pdns_t</b></p>
<h2>ENTRYPOINTS
<a name="ENTRYPOINTS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The pdns_t
SELinux type can be entered via the <b>pdns_exec_t</b> file
type.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The default
entrypoint paths for the pdns_t domain are the
following:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/usr/sbin/pdns_server</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 pdns
policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their pdns
processes in as secure a method as possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
process types are defined for pdns:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>pdns_t,
pdns_control_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note:
<b>semanage permissive -a pdns_t</b> can be used to make the
process type pdns_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. pdns policy
is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
you to manipulate the policy and run pdns with the tightest
access possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow PowerDNS to connect to databases over the network, you
must turn on the pdns_can_network_connect_db boolean.
Disabled by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
pdns_can_network_connect_db 1</b></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>
<h2>MANAGED FILES
<a name="MANAGED FILES"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The SELinux
process type pdns_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>
