[rsbac] Boot Role (RC module)

Tue Aug 16 22:09:06 CEST 2011

Hi everyone,

I have installed the rsbac 1.4.3 version on Fedora 12 (kernel version 2.6.32-8). In my compilation AUTH and RC is enabled.

Yes, I boot system with rsbac_softmode to configure the system at first boot. I could set policy for AUTH to remove the "NOT_GRANTED by AUTH (softmode)" but I couldn't set correct policy for RC to remove "NOT_GRANTED by RC (softmode)" messages.
I want to set policy for RC module in softmode then I want to boot system in enforcement mode without the softmode parameter.
Please help me to use boot role or other roles (if boot role is insecure) to boot system in enforcement mode. Please help me how to set roles (initial or force roles) for init, dbus-daemon, avahi-daemon, hal-daemon and other processes to boot system correctly.

Many thanks to all.

Regards,
Ali

If the message is exactly this (NOT GRANTED by RC), RC is not in softmode,
secure mode instead (in global softmode you would see NOT GRANTED (softmode)
by RC. Add boot parameter rsbac_softmode/ rsbac_softmode_rc to your
grub/lilo to switch in softmode.

I don't remember default values of init, but you could check the default
values of the binaries and the /sbin/init it self together with the boot
role parameters definition to check what's up, the reason of the change you
will found in there.

This is at this way because security concerns, nobody (no daemons, no initrd
scripts etc) should run with boot role, maybe you should create their own
roles to this binaries and make them running under them isolating all you
can.

By default in RC there is inheritance in until a setuid or exec is done if
it's happened then could exist triggers to change the new rol. Check above.

You should check this too, take a look:
http://www.rsbac.org/documentation/rsbac_handbook/

Furthermore you should add some more information, as which distribution do
you use, version of rsbac and things like this because between others this
parameters by default may change between versions.

Hi Ali,

your info about RC looks that is not running in softmode.
Only boot a kernel with softmode enabled in the configuration not
automatic boot in softmode.
There is a kernel boot paramter rsbac_softmode.
If you already set it then maybe check the kernel configuration for
rsbac twice. 
More information about which kernel- and rsbac version would helpfull
but not lead automatic to success in this case ;)

In my case i would avoid to use the Boot Role and General Role for all
services.

Gr??e
Jens

I think it's the key of this question because if I'm not wrong inherited
mixed proc/user parameter is not the switch by default now.

Hi

The Mandriva 20011 is RSBAC ready now. I submit the kernel-rsbac-3.0.1
and will maintain all the Mandriva 2011 lifetime.

1. Install Mandriva 2011 (now Mandriva 2011 RC2)
2. open a konsole and run "urpmi rsbac"
3.
