NAME
       checkpc_selinux	-  Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the checkpc pro‐
       cesses

DESCRIPTION
       Security-Enhanced Linux secures	the  checkpc  processes	 via  flexible
       mandatory access control.

       The  checkpc processes execute with the checkpc_t SELinux type. You can
       check if you have these processes running by executing the  ps  command
       with the -Z qualifier.

       For example:

       ps -eZ | grep checkpc_t

ENTRYPOINTS
       The  checkpc_t  SELinux type can be entered via the checkpc_exec_t file
       type.

       The default entrypoint paths for the checkpc_t domain are  the  follow‐
       ing:

       /usr/sbin/checkpc

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
       checkpc	policy	is very flexible allowing users to setup their checkpc
       processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following process types are defined for checkpc:

       checkpc_t

       Note: semanage permissive -a checkpc_t can be used to make the  process
       type  checkpc_t	permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
       process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still	gener‐
       ated.

BOOLEANS
       SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.  checkpc
       policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to
       manipulate  the	policy and run checkpc with the tightest access possi‐
       ble.

       If you want to allow all daemons the ability to	read/write  terminals,
       you must turn on the daemons_use_tty boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P daemons_use_tty 1

       If  you	want  to deny any process from ptracing or debugging any other
       processes, you  must  turn  on  the  deny_ptrace	 boolean.  Enabled  by
       default.

       setsebool -P deny_ptrace 1

       If you want to allow all domains to use other domains file descriptors,
       you must turn on the domain_fd_use boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P domain_fd_use 1

       If you want to allow all domains to have the kernel load	 modules,  you
       must  turn  on  the  domain_kernel_load_modules	boolean.  Disabled  by
       default.

       setsebool -P domain_kernel_load_modules 1

       If you want to allow all domains to execute in fips_mode, you must turn
       on the fips_mode boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P fips_mode 1

       If you want to enable reading of urandom for all domains, you must turn
       on the global_ssp boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P global_ssp 1

       If you want to allow system to run with	NIS,  you  must	 turn  on  the
       nis_enabled boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P nis_enabled 1

MANAGED FILES
       The  SELinux  process  type checkpc_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.

       print_spool_t

	    /var/spool/lpd(/.*)?
	    /var/spool/cups(/.*)?
	    /var/spool/cups-pdf(/.*)?

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	checkpc	 policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
       checkpc processes in as secure a method as possible.

       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

       SELinux defines the file context types for the checkpc, if  you	wanted
       to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to execute
       the semanage command  to	 sepecify  alternate  labeling	and  then  use
       restorecon to put the labels on disk.

       semanage fcontext -a -t checkpc_exec_t '/srv/checkpc/content(/.*)?'
       restorecon -R -v /srv/mycheckpc_content

       Note:  SELinux  often  uses  regular expressions to specify labels that
       match multiple files.

       The following file types are defined for checkpc:

       checkpc_exec_t

       - Set files with the checkpc_exec_t type, if you want to transition  an
       executable to the checkpc_t domain.

       checkpc_log_t

       -  Set files with the checkpc_log_t type, if you want to treat the data
       as checkpc log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.

       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
       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

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 boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans

       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
       icy settings.
