NAME

       irc_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the irc processes

DESCRIPTION

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

       The  irc  processes execute with the irc_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 irc_t

ENTRYPOINTS

       The irc_t SELinux type can be entered via the irc_exec_t file type.

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

       /usr/bin/[st]irc, /usr/bin/ircII, /usr/bin/irssi, /usr/bin/tinyirc

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

       The following process types are defined for irc:

       irc_t

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

       If  you	want  to  determine  whether  irc  clients  can  listen  on  and  connect  to  any  unreserved	TCP  ports,  you  must turn on the
       irc_use_any_tcp_ports boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P irc_use_any_tcp_ports 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  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. Enabled by default.

       setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1

       If you want to support ecryptfs home directories, you must turn on the use_ecryptfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P use_ecryptfs_home_dirs 1

       If you want to support fusefs home directories, you must turn on the use_fusefs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P use_fusefs_home_dirs 1

       If you want to support NFS home directories, you must turn on the use_nfs_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P use_nfs_home_dirs 1

       If you want to support SAMBA home directories, you must turn on the use_samba_home_dirs boolean. Disabled by default.

       setsebool -P use_samba_home_dirs 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 irc_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 irc_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 irc policy is very flexible allowing users to  setup	their  irc
       processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following port types are defined for irc:

       ircd_port_t

       Default Defined Ports:
		 tcp 6667,6697

MANAGED FILES

       The  SELinux  process  type irc_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.

       cifs_t

       ecryptfs_t

	    /home/[^/]*/.Private(/.*)?
	    /home/[^/]*/.ecryptfs(/.*)?

       fusefs_t

	    /var/run/[^/]*/gvfs

       irc_home_t

	    /home/[^/]*/.irssi(/.*)?
	    /home/[^/]*/irclog(/.*)?
	    /home/[^/]*/.ircmotd

       irc_tmp_t

       nfs_t

       user_home_t

	    /home/[^/]*/.+

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

       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

       SELinux	defines  the file context types for the irc, 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 irc_conf_t '/srv/irc/content(/.*)?'
       restorecon -R -v /srv/myirc_content

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

       The following file types are defined for irc:

       irc_conf_t

       - Set files with the irc_conf_t type, if you want to treat the files as irc configuration data, usually stored under the /etc directory.

       irc_exec_t

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

       Paths:
	    /usr/bin/[st]irc, /usr/bin/ircII, /usr/bin/irssi, /usr/bin/tinyirc

       irc_home_t

       - Set files with the irc_home_t type, if you want to store irc files in the users home directory.

       Paths:
	    /home/[^/]*/.irssi(/.*)?, /home/[^/]*/irclog(/.*)?, /home/[^/]*/.ircmotd

       irc_tmp_t

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

       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.
