<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">nfsd_selinux
− Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the nfsd
processes</p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Security-Enhanced
Linux secures the nfsd processes via flexible mandatory
access control.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The nfsd
processes execute with the nfsd_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 nfsd_t</b></p>
<h2>ENTRYPOINTS
<a name="ENTRYPOINTS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The nfsd_t
SELinux type can be entered via the <b>nfsd_exec_t</b> file
type.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The default
entrypoint paths for the nfsd_t domain are the
following:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/usr/lib/systemd/system-generators/nfs.*,
/usr/sbin/rpc.nfsd, /usr/sbin/rpc.mountd</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 nfsd
policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their nfsd
processes in as secure a method as possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
process types are defined for nfsd:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>nfsd_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note:
<b>semanage permissive -a nfsd_t</b> can be used to make the
process type nfsd_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. nfsd policy
is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow
you to manipulate the policy and run nfsd with the tightest
access possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow any files/directories to be exported read/only via
NFS, you must turn on the nfs_export_all_ro boolean. Enabled
by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
nfs_export_all_ro 1</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
allow any files/directories to be exported read/write via
NFS, you must turn on the nfs_export_all_rw boolean. Enabled
by default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
nfs_export_all_rw 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>PORT TYPES
<a name="PORT TYPES"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">SELinux defines
port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">You can see the
types associated with a port by using the following
command:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
port -l</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Policy governs
the access confined processes have to these ports. SELinux
nfsd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
nfsd processes in as secure a method as possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
port types are defined for nfsd: <b><br>
nfs_port_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Default Defined
Ports:</p>
<p style="margin-left:26%;">tcp 2049,20048-20049 <br>

<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

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

<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 nfsd, 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

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note: SELinux
often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match
multiple files.</p>

to write to the public_content_rw_t domain, you must set the
appropriate boolean. <br>
