&minus; Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the
httpd_sys_script processes</p>

<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>



<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Security-Enhanced
Linux secures the httpd_sys_script processes via flexible
mandatory access control.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
httpd_sys_script processes execute with the
httpd_sys_script_t SELinux type. You can check if you have
these processes running by executing the <b>ps</b> command
with the <b>&minus;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 httpd_sys_script_t</b></p>

<h2>ENTRYPOINTS
<a name="ENTRYPOINTS"></a>
</h2>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
httpd_sys_script_t SELinux type can be entered via the
<b>nfs_t, httpd_sys_content_t, httpd_sys_script_exec_t,
cifs_t, httpdcontent</b> file types.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The default
entrypoint paths for the httpd_sys_script_t domain are the
following:</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>&minus;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
httpd_sys_script policy is very flexible allowing users to
setup their httpd_sys_script processes in as secure a method
as possible.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
process types are defined for httpd_sys_script:</p>


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>httpd_sys_script_t</b></p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note:
<b>semanage permissive -a httpd_sys_script_t</b> can be used
to make the process type httpd_sys_script_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.
httpd_sys_script policy is extremely flexible and has
several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and
run httpd_sys_script with the tightest access possible.</p>
