loadkeys_selinux(8) - Linux man page
Name
loadkeys_selinux - Security Enhanced Linux Policy for the loadkeys processes
Description
Security-Enhanced Linux secures the loadkeys processes via flexible mandatory access control.
The loadkeys processes execute with the loadkeys_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 loadkeys_t
Entrypoints
The loadkeys_t SELinux type can be entered via the "loadkeys_exec_t" file type. The default entrypoint paths for the loadkeys_t domain are the following:"
/bin/unikeys, /bin/loadkeys
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 loadkeys policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their loadkeys processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following process types are defined for loadkeys:
loadkeys_t
Note: semanage permissive -a loadkeys_t
can be used to make the process type loadkeys_t permissive. Permissive process types are not denied access by SELinux. AVC messages will still be generated.
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 loadkeys policy is very flexible allowing users to setup their loadkeys processes in as secure a method as possible.
The following file types are defined for loadkeys:
loadkeys_exec_t
- Set files with the loadkeys_exec_t type, if you want to transition an executable to the loadkeys_t domain.
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.
Managed Files
The SELinux process type loadkeys_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.

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 policy modules.
system-config-selinux is a GUI tool available to customize SELinux policy settings.
