Security-Enhanced Linux secures the munin processes via flexible mandatory access control.
The munin processes execute with the munin_t SELinux type. You can check if you have these processes running by executing the ps command with the -Z qualifier.
For example:
ps -eZ | grep munin_t
The munin_t SELinux type can be entered via the munin_exec_t file type.
The default entrypoint paths for the munin_t domain are the following:
/usr/bin/munin-.*, /usr/sbin/munin-.*, /usr/share/munin/munin-.*
You can see the context of a process using the -Z option to psP Policy governs the access confined processes have to files. SELinux munin policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their munin processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for munin:
munin_t, munin_script_t
Note: semanage permissive -a munin_t can be used to make the process type munin_t permissive. SELinux does not deny access to permissive process types, but the AVC (SELinux denials) messages are still generated.
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 authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap boolean. Disabled by default.
setsebool -P authlogin_nsswitch_use_ldap 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 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. Enabled by default.
setsebool -P nscd_use_shm 1
You can see the types associated with a port by using the following command:
semanage port -l
Policy governs the access confined processes have to these ports. SELinux munin policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their munin processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following port types are defined for munin:
Default Defined Ports: tcp 4949 udp 4949
The SELinux process type munin_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.

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 munin policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their munin processes in as secure a method as possible.
EQUIVALENCE DIRECTORIES
munin policy stores data with multiple different file context types under the /var/lib/munin directory. If you would like to store the data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
semanage fcontext -a -e /var/lib/munin /srv/munin
restorecon -R -v /srv/munin
munin policy stores data with multiple different file context types under the /var/www/html/munin directory. If you would like to store the data in a different directory you can use the semanage command to create an equivalence mapping. If you wanted to store this data under the /srv dirctory you would execute the following command:
semanage fcontext -a -e /var/www/html/munin /srv/munin
restorecon -R -v /srv/munin
STANDARD FILE CONTEXT
SELinux defines the file context types for the munin, 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 munin_ra_content_t '/srv/mymunin_content(/.*)?'
restorecon -R -v /srv/mymunin_content
Note: SELinux often uses regular expressions to specify labels that match multiple files.
The following file types are defined for munin:
munin_content_t
- Set files with the munin_content_t type, if you want to treat the files as munin content.
munin_etc_t
- Set files with the munin_etc_t type, if you want to store munin files in the /etc directories.
munin_exec_t
- Set files with the munin_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the munin_t domain.
munin_htaccess_t
- Set files with the munin_htaccess_t type, if you want to treat the file as a munin access file.
munin_initrc_exec_t
- Set files with the munin_initrc_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the munin_initrc_t domain.
munin_log_t
- Set files with the munin_log_t type, if you want to treat the data as munin log data, usually stored under the /var/log directory.
munin_plugin_state_t
- Set files with the munin_plugin_state_t type, if you want to treat the files as munin plugin state data.
munin_ra_content_t
- Set files with the munin_ra_content_t type, if you want to treat the files as munin read/append content.
munin_rw_content_t
- Set files with the munin_rw_content_t type, if you want to treat the files as munin read/write content.
munin_script_exec_t
- Set files with the munin_script_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the munin_script_t domain.
munin_script_tmp_t
- Set files with the munin_script_tmp_t type, if you want to store munin script temporary files in the /tmp directories.
munin_tmp_t
- Set files with the munin_tmp_t type, if you want to store munin temporary files in the /tmp directories.
munin_var_lib_t
- Set files with the munin_var_lib_t type, if you want to store the munin files under the /var/lib directory.
munin_var_run_t
- Set files with the munin_var_run_t type, if you want to store the munin files under the /run or /var/run 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.
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 port can also be used to manipulate the port definitions
semanage boolean can also be used to manipulate the booleans
