NAME
service_seusers - The SELinux GNU/Linux user and service to SELinux user mapping configuration files
DESCRIPTION
These are optional files that allow services to define an SELinux user when authenticating via SELinux-aware login applications such as
PAM(8).
There is one file for each GNU/Linux user name that will be required to run a service with a specific SELinux user name.
The path for each configuration file is formed by the path returned by
selinux_policy_root(3) with
/logins/username
appended (where username is a file representing the GNU/Linux user name). The default services directory is located at:
-
/etc/selinux/{SELINUXTYPE}/logins
Where {SELINUXTYPE} is the entry from the selinux configuration file config (see selinux_config(5)).
getseuser(3) reads this file to map services to an SELinux user.
FILE FORMAT
Each line within the
username file is formatted as follows with each component separated by a colon:
-
service:seuser[:range]
Where:
-
service
-
The service name used by the application.
seuser
-
The SELinux user name.
range
-
The range for MCS/MLS policies.
EXAMPLES
Example 1 - for the 'root' user:
-
# ./logins/root
ipa:user_u:s0
this_service:unconfined_u:s0
Example 2 - for GNU/Linux user 'rch':
-
# ./logins/rch
ipa:unconfined_u:s0
that_service:unconfined_u:s0
