NAME

       dhcpd_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the dhcpd processes

DESCRIPTION

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

       The  dhcpd  processes  execute with the dhcpd_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 dhcpd_t

ENTRYPOINTS

       The dhcpd_t SELinux type can be entered via the dhcpd_exec_t file type.

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

       /usr/sbin/dhcpd.*

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 dhcpd policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their dhcpd pro-
       cesses in as secure a method as possible.

       The following process types are defined for dhcpd:

       dhcpd_t

       Note:  semanage	permissive  -a dhcpd_t can be used to make the process type dhcpd_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.  dhcpd policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow  you
       to manipulate the policy and run dhcpd with the tightest access possible.

       If you want to determine whether DHCP daemon can use LDAP backends, you must turn on the dhcpd_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P dhcpd_use_ldap 1

       If  you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from ldap rather then using a sssd server, you must turn on the authlo-
       gin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1

       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 run with kerberos, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 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

       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

NSSWITCH DOMAIN

       If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from ldap rather then using a sssd server for the dhcpd_t, you must turn
       on the authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean.

       setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 1

       If you want to allow confined applications to run with kerberos for the dhcpd_t, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean.

       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1

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

       The following port types are defined for dhcpd:

       dhcpd_port_t

       Default Defined Ports:
		 tcp 547,548,647,847,7911
		 udp 67,547,548,647,847

MANAGED FILES

       The SELinux process type dhcpd_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(/.*)?

	    /var/lib/dhcpd(/.*)?

       dhcpd_tmp_t

	    /var/run/dhcpd(6)?.pid

       root_t

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

       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

       SELinux defines the file context types for the dhcpd, 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 dhcpd_exec_t '/srv/dhcpd/content(/.*)?'
       restorecon -R -v /srv/mydhcpd_content

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

       The following file types are defined for dhcpd:

       dhcpd_exec_t

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

       dhcpd_initrc_exec_t

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

       dhcpd_state_t

       - Set files with the dhcpd_state_t type, if you want to treat the files as dhcpd state data.

       Paths:
	    /var/lib/dhcp(3)?/dhcpd.leases.*, /var/lib/dhcpd(/.*)?

       dhcpd_tmp_t

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

       dhcpd_unit_file_t

       - Set files with the dhcpd_unit_file_t type, if you want to treat the files as dhcpd unit content.

       Paths:
	    /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpd.*, /usr/lib/systemd/system/dhcpcd.*

       dhcpd_var_run_t

       - Set files with the dhcpd_var_run_t type, if you want to store the dhcpd files under the /run or /var/run 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 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 port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions

       semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans

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