Homework and Emergencies Homework & Coursework Questions How to set a non-login non-interactive shell for a user? Post 302929992 by RudiC on Monday 29th of December 2014 10:45:29 AM

While I've some difficulty understanding the problem (item 2. in post #1), let me try to clarify some things:
On a system, you have login users (A) and non-login users (B). And, you have interactive (C) and non-interactive (D) access.
Combinations:
A+C is the normal user, logged in via a terminal (his interaction tool).
A+D can be a background process run by a logged in user, supplying the -l option to e.g. bash.
B+C would be an interactive shell run as a subprocess / subshell by an application.
B+D could be a service or a daemon started at boot time and running under a B user.

The command /usr/sbin/nologin (/bin/non-login I do not know about) is NOT a shell, but it prevents the respective user to log in.
Shells are command line interpreters (CLI) that enable the user to interact with the system. If your system has /ets/shells, list that to see some available shells:
Code:
linux:
/bin/sh
/bin/dash
/bin/bash
/bin/rbash
or (Free)BSD:
/bin/csh
/bin/tcsh
/usr/local/bin/bash
/usr/local/bin/rbash

httpd_webalizer_script_selinux(8)		       SELinux Policy httpd_webalizer_script			 httpd_webalizer_script_selinux(8)

NAME
httpd_webalizer_script_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the httpd_webalizer_script processes DESCRIPTION
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the httpd_webalizer_script processes via flexible mandatory access control. The httpd_webalizer_script processes execute with the httpd_webalizer_script_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes run- ning by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier. For example: ps -eZ | grep httpd_webalizer_script_t ENTRYPOINTS
The httpd_webalizer_script_t SELinux type can be entered via the shell_exec_t, httpd_webalizer_script_exec_t, httpd_webalizer_script_exec_t file types. The default entrypoint paths for the httpd_webalizer_script_t domain are the following: /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 httpd_webalizer_script policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their httpd_webalizer_script processes in as secure a method as possible. The following process types are defined for httpd_webalizer_script: httpd_webalizer_script_t Note: semanage permissive -a httpd_webalizer_script_t can be used to make the process type httpd_webalizer_script_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. httpd_webalizer_script policy is extremely flexible and has several bool- eans that allow you to manipulate the policy and run httpd_webalizer_script 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 httpd cgi support, you must turn on the httpd_enable_cgi boolean. Disabled by default. setsebool -P httpd_enable_cgi 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 httpd_webalizer_script_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. httpd_webalizer_rw_content_t 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.
