dcerpcd_selinux - Man Page

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

The dcerpcd processes execute with the dcerpcd_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 dcerpcd_t

The dcerpcd_t SELinux type can be entered via the dcerpcd_exec_t file type.

The default entrypoint paths for the dcerpcd_t domain are the following:

/usr/bin/dcerpcd, /opt/likewise/sbin/dcerpcd

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 psbP

Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux dcerpcd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their dcerpcd processes in as secure a method as possible.

The following process types are defined for dcerpcd:

dcerpcd_t

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

SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required.  dcerpcd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run dcerpcd with the tightest access possible.

If you want to dontaudit all daemons scheduling requests (setsched, sys_nice), you must turn on the daemons_dontaudit_scheduling boolean. Enabled by default.

setsebool -P daemons_dontaudit_scheduling 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

The SELinux process type dcerpcd_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.

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 lsbP

Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files. SELinux dcerpcd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their dcerpcd processes in as secure a method as possible.

STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

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

semanage fcontext -a -t dcerpcd_exec_t '/srv/dcerpcd/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mydcerpcd_content

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

The following file types are defined for dcerpcd:

dcerpcd_exec_t

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

Paths:

/usr/bin/dcerpcd, /opt/likewise/sbin/dcerpcd

dcerpcd_var_lib_t

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

Paths:

/var/lib/likewise/run/rpcdep.dat, /var/lib/likewise-open/run/rpcdep.dat

dcerpcd_var_run_t

- Set files with the dcerpcd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the dcerpcd files under the /run or /var/run directory.

dcerpcd_var_socket_t

- Set files with the dcerpcd_var_socket_t type, if you want to treat the files as dcerpcd var socket data.

Paths:

/var/lib/likewise/rpc/epmapper, /var/lib/likewise-open/rpc/epmapper

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 database.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

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 policy modules.

semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans

system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
