With the way the policy is written the attribute "domain" is applied to any type that can be used for labelling a process. # # init_t is the domain of the init process. # type init_t, initrc_transition_domain; type init_exec_t; domain_type(init_t) domain_entry_file(init_t, init_exec_t) kernel_domtrans_to(init_t, init_exec_t) role system_r types init_t; Above is a snippet from init.te. It creates the "type" (where the word applies to a policy language keyword) init_t and then uses the interface "domain_type" to give it the attribute "domain". > 2.how to know how much authority , on how many files,dirs,sockets.... > the process of qemu-kvm has? is there a command to show that?

That level field in the label is also used by MCS (Multi Category Security) which allows values such as "s0:c0" and "s0:c0,c3". Feel free to experiment with that, you can use the command "runcon" to launch a process with a different level and see what access it is permitted to have to files of different level. > 4.what does s(sensitive) and c(class) mean? For MCS it's only s0 so it means nothing for you. MLS is more complex, master MCS first. > 5. there are two class, c520,c87. what is the upper limit of class > amount. The categories (not classes) are numbered from c0 to c1023, there are 1024 of them but this is a policy compilation choice, you could rebuild the policy and use more or less. In MCS to read a file a process needs to have every category that the file has (or it needs to be in a domain that can override the MCS controls). -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ Selinux mailing list Selinux@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe, send email to Selinux-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxx.
