Security-Enhanced Linux secures the logrotate 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 logrotate_t, logrotate_mail_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 logrotate_t, logrotate_mail_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 logrotate policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their logrotate processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for logrotate:
logrotate_exec_t
- Set files with the logrotate_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the logrotate_t domain.
logrotate_lock_t
- Set files with the logrotate_lock_t type, if you want to treat the files as logrotate lock data, stored under the /var/lock directory
logrotate_mail_tmp_t
- Set files with the logrotate_mail_tmp_t type, if you want to store logrotate mail temporary files in the /tmp directories.
logrotate_tmp_t
- Set files with the logrotate_tmp_t type, if you want to store logrotate temporary files in the /tmp directories.
logrotate_var_lib_t
- Set files with the logrotate_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the logrotate 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 context of a process using the -Z option to psP Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux logrotate policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their logrotate processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for logrotate:
logrotate_t, logrotate_mail_t
Note: semanage permissive -a PROCESS_TYPE can be used to make a process type permissive. Permissive process types are not denied access by SELinux. AVC messages will still be generated.
The SELinux user type logrotate_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.
