ULOGD(8) System Manager's Manual ULOGD(8)NAME
ulogd - netfilter/iptables ULOG daemon
SYNOPSIS
ulogd [options]
DESCRIPTION
ulogd connects to the netlink device of the Linux kernel and reads messages from the netfilter that get queued with the iptables ULOG tar-
get. For this to work you have to compile the ULOG target into your kernel or load the respective module.
The received messages can be logged into files or into a mySQL or PostgreSQL database.
OPTIONS -d, --daemon
fork ulogd into background (start as daemon)
-c <filename>, --configfile <filename>
use <filename> as configuration file instead of /etc/ulogd.conf
-h, --help
show usage information
-V, --version
show version information and copyright
FILES
/etc/ulogd.conf
/var/log/ulog/ulogd.log

ulogd_selinux(8) SELinux Policy ulogd ulogd_selinux(8)NAME
ulogd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the ulogd processes
DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the ulogd processes via flexible mandatory access control.
The ulogd processes execute with the ulogd_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 ulogd_t
ENTRYPOINTS
The ulogd_t SELinux type can be entered via the ulogd_exec_t file type.
The default entrypoint paths for the ulogd_t domain are the following:
/usr/sbin/ulogd
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 ulogd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their ulogd pro-
cesses in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for ulogd:
ulogd_t
Note: semanage permissive -a ulogd_t can be used to make the process type ulogd_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive
process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.
BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. ulogd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you
to manipulate the policy and run ulogd with the tightest access possible.
If you want to allow all daemons to write corefiles to /, you must turn on the daemons_dump_core boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_dump_core 1
If you want to enable cluster mode for daemons, you must turn on the daemons_enable_cluster_mode boolean. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_enable_cluster_mode 1
If you want to allow all daemons to use tcp wrappers, you must turn on the daemons_use_tcp_wrapper boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P daemons_use_tcp_wrapper 1
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 confined applications to use nscd shared memory, you must turn on the nscd_use_shm boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
MANAGED FILES
The SELinux process type ulogd_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.
cluster_conf_t
/etc/cluster(/.*)?
cluster_var_lib_t
/var/lib/pcsd(/.*)?
/var/lib/cluster(/.*)?
/var/lib/openais(/.*)?
/var/lib/pengine(/.*)?
/var/lib/corosync(/.*)?
/usr/lib/heartbeat(/.*)?
/var/lib/heartbeat(/.*)?
/var/lib/pacemaker(/.*)?
cluster_var_run_t
/var/run/crm(/.*)?
/var/run/cman_.*
/var/run/rsctmp(/.*)?
/var/run/aisexec.*
/var/run/heartbeat(/.*)?
/var/run/cpglockd.pid
/var/run/corosync.pid
/var/run/rgmanager.pid
/var/run/cluster/rgmanager.sk

/initrd
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 ulogd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their
ulogd processes in as secure a method as possible.
STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
SELinux defines the file context types for the ulogd, 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 ulogd_etc_t '/srv/ulogd/content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/myulogd_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files.
The following file types are defined for ulogd:
ulogd_etc_t
- Set files with the ulogd_etc_t type, if you want to store ulogd files in the /etc directories.
ulogd_exec_t
- Set files with the ulogd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the ulogd_t domain.
ulogd_initrc_exec_t
- Set files with the ulogd_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the ulogd_initrc_t domain.
ulogd_modules_t
- Set files with the ulogd_modules_t type, if you want to treat the files as ulogd modules.
ulogd_var_log_t
- Set files with the ulogd_var_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as ulogd var log data, usually stored under the /var/log direc-
tory.
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.
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 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.
