NAME

       awstats_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the awstats processes

DESCRIPTION

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

       The  awstats  processes execute with the awstats_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 awstats_t

ENTRYPOINTS

       The awstats_t SELinux type can be entered via the awstats_exec_t file type.

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

       /usr/share/awstats/tools/.+.pl

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

       The following process types are defined for awstats:

       awstats_t

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

       If  you	want to determine whether awstats can purge httpd log files, you must turn on the awstats_purge_apache_log_files boolean. Disabled
       by default.

       setsebool -P awstats_purge_apache_log_files 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 awstats_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.

       awstats_tmp_t

       awstats_var_lib_t

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

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

       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

       SELinux defines the file context types for the awstats, if you wanted to store files with these types in a diffent paths, you need to  exe-
       cute the semanage command to sepecify alternate labeling and then use restorecon to put the labels on disk.

       semanage fcontext -a -t awstats_exec_t '/srv/awstats/content(/.*)?'
       restorecon -R -v /srv/myawstats_content

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

       The following file types are defined for awstats:

       awstats_exec_t

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

       awstats_tmp_t

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

       awstats_var_lib_t

       - Set files with the awstats_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the awstats files under the /var/lib 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 boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans

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