boinc_selinux(8) boinc SELinux Policy documentation boinc_selinux(8)NAMEboinc_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the boinc processes
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the boinc processes via flexible manda‐
tory access control.
NSSWITCH DOMAINFILE 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 boinc policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
boinc processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for boinc:
boinc_exec_t
- Set files with the boinc_exec_t type, if you want to transition an
executable to the boinc_t domain.
boinc_initrc_exec_t
- Set files with the boinc_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
tion an executable to the boinc_initrc_t domain.
boinc_log_t
- Set files with the boinc_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as
boinc log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
boinc_project_tmp_t
- Set files with the boinc_project_tmp_t type, if you want to store
boinc project temporary files in the /tmp directories.
boinc_project_var_lib_t
- Set files with the boinc_project_var_lib_t type, if you want to store
the boinc project files under the /var/lib directory.
Paths:
/var/lib/boinc/projects(/.*)?, /var/lib/boinc/slots(/.*)?
boinc_tmp_t
- Set files with the boinc_tmp_t type, if you want to store boinc tem‐
porary files in the /tmp directories.
boinc_tmpfs_t
- Set files with the boinc_tmpfs_t type, if you want to store boinc
files on a tmpfs file system.
boinc_unit_file_t
- Set files with the boinc_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the
files as boinc unit content.
boinc_var_lib_t
- Set files with the boinc_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
boinc files under the /var/lib directory.
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 boinc policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
boinc processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following port types are defined for boinc:
boinc_client_ctrl_port_t
Default Defined Ports:
tcp 1043
boinc_port_t
Default Defined Ports:
tcp 31416
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
boinc policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their boinc pro‐
cesses in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for boinc:
boinc_t, boinc_project_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.
