This requires your user have access to the target role. This example

</span>Specify available roles for a user</p>
<p>
There is a mapping of linux users to SELinux identities. The policy has
generic SELinux users for relevant configurations of roles. For example, to
map the user <span class="code" dir="ltr">pebenito</span> to the SELinux identity <span class="code" dir="ltr">staff_u</span>, run:
</p>
<a name="doc_chap1_pre1"></a><table class="ntable" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">

# <span class="code-input">semanage login -a -s staff_u pebenito</span>
</pre></td></tr>
</table>
<p>
The policy does not need to be reloaded. If the user is logged in, it
must log out and log in again to take effect.

</span>Relabel an individual package</p>
<p>
In addition to relabeling entire filesystems, individual portage packages
can be relabeled. This requires you to be in the <span class="code" dir="ltr">sysadm_r</span> role.
</p>
<a name="doc_chap1_pre1"></a><table class="ntable" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">

<p>
The script rlpkg is used, and any number of packages can be specified
on the command line.
</p>
<p class="chaphead"><a name="doc_chap1"></a><span class="chapnum">1.
</span>Scan for libraries with text relocations</p>
<p>
SELinux has improved memory protections. One feature supported is
the permission for ELF text relocations. The libraries with text relocations
have a special label, and the <span class="code" dir="ltr">rlpkg</span> tool has an option to scan for
these libraries.
</p>

This will also be done by automatically after a full relabel.

</span>Start daemons in the correct domain</p>
<p>
Controlling daemons that have init scripts in /etc/init.d is slightly
different in SELinux. The <span class="code" dir="ltr">run_init</span> command must be used to run
the scripts, to ensure they are ran in the correct domain. The command
can be ran normally, except the command is prefixed with <span class="code" dir="ltr">run_init</span>.
This requires you to be in the <span class="code" dir="ltr">sysadm_r</span> role.

SELinux installed, services can be started and stopped as usual, but will
now authenticate the user.

</span>Switch between enforcing and permissive modes</p>
<p>
Switching between modes in SELinux is very simple. Write a 1 for
enforcing, or 0 for permissive to /selinux/enforce to set the mode.
The current mode can be queried by reading /selinux/enforce; 0 means
permissive mode, and 1 means enforcing mode. If the kernel option
"NSA SELinux Development Support" is turned off, the system will always
be in enforcing mode, and cannot be switched to permissive mode.
</p>
<a name="doc_chap1_pre1"></a><table class="ntable" width="100%" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0">

</table>
<p>
A machine with development support turned on can be started in enforcing
mode by adding <span class="code" dir="ltr">enforcing=1</span> to the kernel command line, in the
bootloader (GRUB, lilo, etc).
</p>
<p class="secthead"><a name="doc_chap1_sect1">Managed policy</a></p>
<p>
In addition to the above kernel options, the mode at boot can be
set by the <span class="code" dir="ltr">/etc/selinux/config</span> file.

The setting in this file will be overridden by the kernel command line
options described above.

<p class="chaphead"><a name="doc_chap1"></a><span class="chapnum">1.
</span>Understand sestatus output</p>
<p>
The <span class="code" dir="ltr">sestatus</span> tool can be used to determine detailed SELinux-specific
status information about the system. The <span class="code" dir="ltr">-v</span> option provides extra
detail about the context of processes and files. The output will be
divided into four sections. Sestatus only provides complete information
for a user logged in as root (or su/sudo), in the <span class="code" dir="ltr">sysadm_r</span> role.

</pre></td></tr>
</table>
<p>
The main status information is provided in the first section. The first
line shows if SELinux kernel functions exists and are enabled. If the
status is disabled, either the kernel does not have SELinux support, or
the policy is not loaded. The second line shows the mount point for
the SELinux filesystem. During the normal use, the filesystem should be
mounted at the default location of <span class="code" dir="ltr">/selinux</span>. The third line
shows the current SELinux mode, either enforcing or permissive. The fourth
line shows the policy database version supported by the currently running
kernel.

The second section displays the status of the conditional policy booleans. The
left column is the name of boolean. The right column is the status of the
boolean, either active, or inactive. This section will not be shown on
policy version 15 kernels, as they do not support conditional policy.

<p>
The fourth section displays the context of the current process's controlling
terminal, and of several key files. For symbolic links, the context of
the link and then the context of the link target is displayed. If a file has
an incorrect context, the file may be inaccessable or have incorrect
permissions for a particular process.
