chfn_selinux(8)	       chfn SELinux Policy documentation       chfn_selinux(8)

NAME
       chfn_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the chfn processes

DESCRIPTION
       Security-Enhanced  Linux secures the chfn processes via flexible manda‐
       tory access control.

NSSWITCH DOMAIN
       If you want to allow users to login using a sssd serve for the  chfn_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
       chfn_t, you must turn on the allow_kerberos boolean.

       setsebool -P allow_kerberos 1

       If you want to allow system to run with NI for  the  chfn_t,  you  must
       turn on the allow_ypbind boolean.

       setsebool -P allow_ypbind 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 chfn policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their chfn
       processes in as secure a method as possible.

       The following file types are defined for chfn:

       chfn_exec_t

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

       Paths:
	    /usr/bin/chfn, /usr/bin/chsh

       Note:  File context can be temporarily modified with the chcon command.
       If you want to permanantly change the file context you need to use  the
       semanage fcontext command.  This will modify the SELinux labeling data‐
       base.  You will need to use restorecon to apply the labels.

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
       chfn policy is very flexible allowing users to setup  their  chfn  pro‐
       cesses in as secure a method as possible.

       The following process types are defined for chfn:

       chfn_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.

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 pol‐
       icy modules.

       system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux pol‐
       icy settings.
