<h2>NAME

</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">shorewall_selinux
− Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the shorewall
processes</p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Security-Enhanced
Linux secures the shorewall processes via flexible mandatory
access control.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The shorewall
processes execute with the shorewall_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 shorewall_t</b></p>
<h2>ENTRYPOINTS
<a name="ENTRYPOINTS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The shorewall_t
SELinux type can be entered via the <b>shorewall_exec_t,
shorewall_var_lib_t</b> file types.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The default
entrypoint paths for the shorewall_t domain are the
following:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/sbin/shorewall6?,
/usr/sbin/shorewall6?, /sbin/shorewall-lite,
/usr/sbin/shorewall-lite, /var/lib/shorewall(/.*)?,
/var/lib/shorewall6(/.*)?, /var/lib/shorewall-lite(/.*)?,
/var/lib/shorewall6-lite(/.*)?</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
shorewall policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
their shorewall processes in as secure a method as
possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
process types are defined for shorewall:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>shorewall_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note:
<b>semanage permissive -a shorewall_t</b> can be used to
make the process type shorewall_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. shorewall
policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
allow you to manipulate the policy and run shorewall 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>
<h2>MANAGED FILES

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The SELinux
process type shorewall_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>

<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
shorewall policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
their shorewall 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">shorewall
policy stores data with multiple different file context
types under the /var/lib/shorewall 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/lib/shorewall /srv/shorewall <br>
restorecon -R -v /srv/shorewall</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 shorewall, 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 shorewall_log_t
’/srv/myshorewall_content(/.*)?’ <br>
restorecon -R -v /srv/myshorewall_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 shorewall:</i></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>shorewall_etc_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">- Set files

<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
