Security-Enhanced Linux secures the amanda processes via flexible mandatory access control.
If you want to allow users to resolve user passwd entries directly from ldap rather then using a sssd serve for the amanda_recover_t, amanda_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 amanda_recover_t, amanda_t, you must turn on the kerberos_enabled boolean.
setsebool -P kerberos_enabled 1
You can see the context of a file using the -Z option to lsP Policy governs the access confined processes have to these files. SELinux amanda policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their amanda processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for amanda:
amanda_amandates_t
- Set files with the amanda_amandates_t type, if you want to treat the files as amanda amandates data.
amanda_config_t
- Set files with the amanda_config_t type, if you want to treat the files as amanda configuration data, usually stored under the /etc directory.
amanda_data_t
- Set files with the amanda_data_t type, if you want to treat the files as amanda content.
amanda_dumpdates_t
- Set files with the amanda_dumpdates_t type, if you want to treat the files as amanda dumpdates data.
amanda_exec_t
- Set files with the amanda_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the amanda_t domain.
amanda_gnutarlists_t
- Set files with the amanda_gnutarlists_t type, if you want to treat the files as amanda gnutarlists data.
amanda_inetd_exec_t
- Set files with the amanda_inetd_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the amanda_inetd_t domain.
amanda_log_t
- Set files with the amanda_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as amanda log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
amanda_recover_dir_t
- Set files with the amanda_recover_dir_t type, if you want to treat the files as amanda recover dir data.
amanda_recover_exec_t
- Set files with the amanda_recover_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the amanda_recover_t domain.
amanda_tmp_t
- Set files with the amanda_tmp_t type, if you want to store amanda temporary files in the /tmp directories.
amanda_usr_lib_t
- Set files with the amanda_usr_lib_t type, if you want to treat the files as amanda usr lib data.
amanda_var_lib_t
- Set files with the amanda_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the amanda 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.
You can see the types associated with a port by using the following command:
semanage port -l
