<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">user_screen_selinux
&minus; Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the user_screen
processes</p>

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



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

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The user_screen
processes execute with the user_screen_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 user_screen_t</b></p>

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


<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The
user_screen_t SELinux type can be entered via the
<b>screen_exec_t</b> file type.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">The default
entrypoint paths for the user_screen_t domain are the
following:</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">/usr/bin/tmux,
/usr/bin/screen</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
user_screen policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
their user_screen processes in as secure a method as
possible.</p>

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


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

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

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
determine whether screen can use fsetid/setuid/setgid
capability, you must turn on the
screen_allow_session_sharing boolean. Disabled by
default.</p>

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

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
support NFS home directories, you must turn on the
use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.</p>

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

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em">If you want to
support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the
use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.</p>

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

<h2>MANAGED FILES
<a name="MANAGED FILES"></a>
</h2>


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


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

<h2>COMMANDS

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
fcontext</b> can also be used to manipulate default file
context mappings.</p>

<p style="margin-left:11%; margin-top: 1em"><b>semanage
permissive</b> can also be used to manipulate whether or not
a process type is permissive.</p>

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

policy modules.</p>

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