NAME

       fail2ban_client_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the fail2ban_client processes

DESCRIPTION

       Security-Enhanced Linux secures the fail2ban_client processes via flexible mandatory access control.

       The fail2ban_client processes execute with the fail2ban_client_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by execut-
       ing the ps command with the -Z qualifier.

       For example:

       ps -eZ | grep fail2ban_client_t

ENTRYPOINTS

       The fail2ban_client_t SELinux type can be entered via the fail2ban_client_exec_t file type.

       The default entrypoint paths for the fail2ban_client_t domain are the following:

       /usr/bin/fail2ban-client

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 fail2ban_client policy is very flexible allowing users to setup  their
       fail2ban_client processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following process types are defined for fail2ban_client:

       fail2ban_client_t

       Note:  semanage	permissive  -a	fail2ban_client_t can be used to make the process type fail2ban_client_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.  fail2ban_client policy is extremely flexible and has several booleans  that
       allow you to manipulate the policy and run fail2ban_client with the tightest access possible.

       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 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 fail2ban_client_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 fail2ban_client_t, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean.

       setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1

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 fail2ban_client policy is very flexible allowing users to setup
       their fail2ban_client processes in as secure a method as possible.

       STANDARD FILE CONTEXT

       SELinux defines the file context types for the fail2ban_client, 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 fail2ban_client_exec_t '/srv/fail2ban_client/content(/.*)?'
       restorecon -R -v /srv/myfail2ban_client_content

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

       The following file types are defined for fail2ban_client:

       fail2ban_client_exec_t

       - Set files with the fail2ban_client_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the fail2ban_client_t domain.

       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.
