Full Discussion: Is rtc still needed today?
Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Is rtc still needed today? Post 302179634 by bakunin on Friday 28th of March 2008 08:36:59 AM

You might want to read Real-time clock - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia and this: SunOS man pages

The latter document states that "-c" "checks for DST and makes corrections if necessary. It is normally run once a day by a cron job." I presume that if you are in a timezone with a daylight savings time you will need it.

I hope this helps.

cronjob_selinux(8)					      SELinux Policy cronjob						cronjob_selinux(8)

NAME
cronjob_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the cronjob processes DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the cronjob processes via flexible mandatory access control. The cronjob processes execute with the cronjob_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps com- mand with the -Z qualifier. For example: ps -eZ | grep cronjob_t ENTRYPOINTS
The cronjob_t SELinux type can be entered via the user_cron_spool_t, shell_exec_t file types. The default entrypoint paths for the cronjob_t domain are the following: /var/spool/at(/.*)?, /var/spool/cron, /bin/d?ash, /bin/zsh.*, /bin/ksh.*, /usr/bin/d?ash, /usr/bin/zsh.*, /usr/bin/ksh.*, /bin/esh, /bin/mksh, /bin/sash, /bin/tcsh, /bin/yash, /bin/bash, /bin/fish, /bin/bash2, /usr/bin/esh, /usr/bin/sash, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/yash, /usr/bin/fish, /usr/bin/mksh, /usr/bin/bash, /sbin/nologin, /usr/sbin/sesh, /usr/bin/bash2, /usr/sbin/smrsh, /usr/bin/scponly, /usr/sbin/nologin, /usr/libexec/sesh, /usr/sbin/scponlyc, /usr/bin/git-shell, /usr/libexec/git-core/git-shell 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 cronjob policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their cronjob processes in as secure a method as possible. The following process types are defined for cronjob: cronjob_t Note: semanage permissive -a cronjob_t can be used to make the process type cronjob_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permis- sive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated. BOOLEANS
SELinux policy is customizable based on least access required. cronjob policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run cronjob with the tightest access possible. 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 cronjob_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. user_home_t /home/[^/]*/.+ user_tmp_t /var/run/user(/.*)? /tmp/hsperfdata_root /var/tmp/hsperfdata_root /tmp/gconfd-.* 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.
