<h2>NAME
<a name="NAME"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">sysadm_su_selinux
− Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the sysadm_su
processes</p>
<h2>DESCRIPTION
<a name="DESCRIPTION"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Security-Enhanced
Linux secures the sysadm_su processes via flexible mandatory
access control.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The sysadm_su
processes execute with the sysadm_su_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 sysadm_su_t</b></p>
<h2>ENTRYPOINTS
<a name="ENTRYPOINTS"></a>
</h2>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The sysadm_su_t
SELinux type can be entered via the <b>su_exec_t</b> file
type.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The default
entrypoint paths for the sysadm_su_t domain are the
following:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/usr/(local/)?bin/ksu,
/bin/su, /usr/bin/su, /usr/bin/kdesu</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
sysadm_su policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
their sysadm_su processes in as secure a method as
possible.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The following
process types are defined for sysadm_su:</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>sysadm_su_t,
sysadm_sudo_t</b></p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">Note:
<b>semanage permissive -a sysadm_su_t</b> can be used to
make the process type sysadm_su_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. sysadm_su
policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that
allow you to manipulate the policy and run sysadm_su with
the tightest access possible.</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 confined applications to run with kerberos, you must
turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by
default.</p>
<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>setsebool -P
kerberos_enabled 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 sysadm_su_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>
