NAME
       devicekit_selinux  -  Security  Enhanced Linux Policy for the devicekit
       processes

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

NSSWITCH DOMAIN
       If  you	want  to  allow	 users	to  login  using  a sssd serve for the
       devicekit_disk_t, devicekit_power_t,  you  must	turn  on  the  authlo‐
       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean.

       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1

       If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos for the
       devicekit_disk_t, devicekit_power_t, you must turn  on  the  allow_ker‐
       beros boolean.

       setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1

       If  you	want  to allow system to run with NI for the devicekit_disk_t,
       devicekit_power_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 devicekit policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
       devicekit processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following file types are defined for devicekit:

       devicekit_disk_exec_t

       - Set files with the devicekit_disk_exec_t type, if you want to transi‐
       tion an executable to the devicekit_disk_t domain.

       Paths:
	    /usr/lib/udev/udisks-part-id,    /usr/libexec/devkit-disks-daemon,
	    /lib/udisks2/udisksd,  /usr/lib/udisks2/udisksd, /lib/udev/udisks-
	    part-id, /usr/libexec/udisks-daemon

       devicekit_exec_t

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

       devicekit_power_exec_t

       -  Set files with the devicekit_power_exec_t type, if you want to tran‐
       sition an executable to the devicekit_power_t domain.

       Paths:
	    /usr/libexec/upowerd, /usr/libexec/devkit-power-daemon

       devicekit_tmp_t

       - Set files with	 the  devicekit_tmp_t  type,  if  you  want  to	 store
       devicekit temporary files in the /tmp directories.

       devicekit_var_lib_t

       - Set files with the devicekit_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the
       devicekit files under the /var/lib directory.

       Paths:
	    /var/lib/udisks.*, /var/lib/DeviceKit-.*, /var/lib/upower(/.*)?

       devicekit_var_log_t

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

       Paths:
	    /var/log/pm-suspend.log, /var/log/pm-powersave.log

       devicekit_var_run_t

       - Set files with the devicekit_var_run_t type, if you want to store the
       devicekit files under the /run directory.

       Paths:
	    /var/run/upower(/.*)?,  /var/run/udisks.*,	/var/run/devkit(/.*)?,
	    /var/run/DeviceKit-disks(/.*)?, /var/run/pm-utils(/.*)?

       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.

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

       The following process types are defined for devicekit:

       devicekit_power_t, devicekit_disk_t, devicekit_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.

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