amanda_selinux(8) amanda SELinux Policy documentation amanda_selinux(8)NAMEamanda_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the amanda pro‐
cesses
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the amanda processes via flexible
mandatory access control.
NSSWITCH DOMAIN
If you want to allow users to login using a sssd serve for the
amanda_recover_t, amanda_t, you must turn on the authlogin_nss‐
witch_use_ldap boolean.
setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1
If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos for the
amanda_recover_t, amanda_t, you must turn on the allow_kerberos bool‐
ean.
setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1
If you want to allow system to run with NI for the amanda_recover_t,
amanda_t, you must turn on the allow_ypbind boolean.
setsebool -P allow_ypbind 1
FILE CONTEXTS
SELinux requires files to have an extended attribute to define the file
type.
You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to ls
Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files.
SELinux amanda policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
amanda processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for amanda:
amanda_amandates_t
- Set files with the amanda_amandates_t type, if you want to treat the
files as amanda amandates data.
amanda_config_t
- Set files with the amanda_config_t type, if you want to treat the
files as amanda configuration data, usually stored under the /etc
directory.
Paths:
/etc/amanda(/.*)?, /var/lib/amanda/.amandahosts
amanda_data_t
- Set files with the amanda_data_t type, if you want to treat the files
as amanda content.
Paths:
/var/lib/amanda/[^/]+(/.*)?, /etc/amanda/.*/tapelist(/.*)?,
/etc/amanda/.*/index(/.*)?
amanda_dumpdates_t
- Set files with the amanda_dumpdates_t type, if you want to treat the
files as amanda dumpdates data.
amanda_exec_t
- Set files with the amanda_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the amanda_t domain.
amanda_gnutarlists_t
- Set files with the amanda_gnutarlists_t type, if you want to treat
the files as amanda gnutarlists data.
amanda_inetd_exec_t
- Set files with the amanda_inetd_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
tion an executable to the amanda_inetd_t domain.
Paths:
/usr/lib/amanda/amindexd, /usr/lib/amanda/amidxtaped,
/usr/lib/amanda/amandad
amanda_log_t
- Set files with the amanda_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
as amanda log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
Paths:
/var/log/amanda(/.*)?, /var/lib/amanda/[^/]*/log(/.*)?
amanda_recover_dir_t
- Set files with the amanda_recover_dir_t type, if you want to treat
the files as amanda recover dir data.
amanda_recover_exec_t
- Set files with the amanda_recover_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
tion an executable to the amanda_recover_t domain.
amanda_tmp_t
- Set files with the amanda_tmp_t type, if you want to store amanda
temporary files in the /tmp directories.
amanda_usr_lib_t
- Set files with the amanda_usr_lib_t type, if you want to treat the
files as amanda usr lib data.
amanda_var_lib_t
- Set files with the amanda_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
amanda files under the /var/lib directory.
Paths:
/var/lib/amanda/[^/]+/index(/.*)?, /var/lib/amanda
Note: File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
If you want to permanantly change the file context you need to use the
semanage fcontext command. This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
base. You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.
PORT TYPES
SELinux defines port types to represent TCP and UDP ports.
You can see the types associated with a port by using the following
command:
semanage port -l
Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports.
SELinux amanda policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
amanda processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following port types are defined for amanda:
amanda_port_t
Default Defined Ports:
tcp 10080-10083
udp 10080-10082
PROCESS TYPES
SELinux defines process types (domains) for each process running on the
system
You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to ps
Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux
amanda policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their amanda
processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for amanda:
amanda_t, amanda_recover_t
Note: semanage permissive -a PROCESS_TYPE can be used to make a process
type permissive. Permissive process types are not denied access by
SELinux. AVC messages will still be generated.
COMMANDS
semanage fcontext can also be used to manipulate default file context
mappings.
semanage permissive can also be used to manipulate whether or not a
process type is permissive.
semanage module can also be used to enable/disable/install/remove pol‐
icy modules.
semanage port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
icy settings.
